OK here’s the problem. Installed a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP into a PC chips M810 series motherboard.
Boot up no problem, detects new hardware, install drivers (tried Win2000’s drivers, and the latest voodoo drivers for W2K) After this I get windows starting up as normal, then when the blue screen with ‘press control-alt-delete’ is about to appear, the monitor goes into sleep mode. The signal just dies.....
I can run in safe mode and VGA mode, but not in normal mode. I suspect this is the only time that the actual voodoo drivers are being invoked.
I’ve removed the voodoo card and cleaned up any traces of software 3 times, and done a fresh install of the OS and still get the same problem…
Any ideas how to get round this?
Thanks,
Jay
