I think that you might be encountering the black screen bug on your video card. The same thing happened to me until I raised the AGP Voltage in the bios from 1.5v to 1.8v. By the way I have a X1950 Pro AGP 512MB

oh ok, well mines pci express, can you raise voltage on that

Asus warning

Quote : AGP slot.Install only 1.5 or 0.8 volts,not 3.3 V AGP.
This might not apply exactly to yours,but read your manual for installing
expansion cards.Also there might be utilities on the cd.I have VGA driver.
This is necessary for any video card.
So as i've said so many time.If you have a computer,you need the manuals
and cd's for all Hardware devices.Especially the Motherboard.
I do.:grinthumb
