Screen blanking after XP loading screen

Sucess! It was the nvidia drivers. My suspicions increased upon first attempting to play an avi file. Everything was very, very dark. Couldn't see anything. Uninstalled the 91.XX drivers and installed the 84.XX drivers and presto chango, things are normal again. *Sigh* Now I just get to...

Screen blanking after XP loading screen

So, disabling the onboard lans (both of them) didn't resolve the problem completely, but the 'blank' time seems to have gone down considerably. I've rebooted five or so times now and the max I've seen the screen go blank is ~5 seconds. As for the motherboard drivers, I don't think that's it...

Screen blanking after XP loading screen

Hey guys, thanks again for the responses. Ya know, it *didn't* do the blanking thing upon first installing XP. I thought it might have been one of the programs I installed, but I didn't install anything that I didn't have previously. I'll try the disabling mobo features that I don't...

Screen blanking after XP loading screen

Hey Sniper82, thanks for replying. Yes, I forgot to specify that I did format the drive and reinstall XP (twice, actually). Also, I did already try a different SATA slot. Same cable though, as it worked fine with my previous mobo... Nothing in the optical drives.

Screen blanking after XP loading screen

Hi All, The scenario: I recently upgraded my computer hardware (Yay!), but it's behaving a little wonky (Boo!). I can't seem to resolve what's happening, so I thought I'd ask for some help. It pretty much comes down to two things. 1) When starting XP and the splash/loading screen...

FX53 is built

SB, Crucial Ballistix can handle lower latencies just fine. I promise. My rig is running without a problem at 260 x 10 with my PC4000 running 1:1 at 2.5, 2, 2, 10, 1.

Ram question

get crucial. reason #1) they've developed a well-deserved reputation for stability. reason #2) as ram speeds have increased, so has the need for tighter margins. you could probably pair up one brand's pc133 with a second stick from a different brand, but ddr333 could be a different...

Ram question

Agreed. Your money would be much better spent on a new graphics card. Benchmarks are only benchmarks. If your RAM is stable and you don't feel choked by it, stick with it.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum?

Ice9, you may also want to check to see that you have enabled DMA for your SATA channel within the MSI BIOS. Apparently, it's disabled by default. You may see a performance increase if that's the issue.

XP 1600 to XP 2400?

Before dropping the $80, you may want to read this to see if overclocking your current chip would be an option you'd consider taking. I remember overclocking my 1600+ to 1800mhz back in the day. If you are able to do that to your current chip, it would put you within 200mhz of the xp2400+ and...

n00b OCer - Bumping up the 3500+ to 2.4

I believe i read that the xp120 does not fit on the giagbyte board. This may have been on hardforum.com. Like others mentioned, the Thermalright SLK948 and the Zalman 7000 series both cool well with air cooling but are harder to install (for example, to install the SLK948, you would need to...

fwiw, i have heard that if you populate all four memory banks on the msi neo2 board (and other a64 boards i'm sure, as the memory controller is on-chip), your memory bandwith drops to 333mhz. i can't find the thread at the moment, but if i do later i'll post it here. so if you're getting 2...
