    It may seem fairly obvious but have u tried usin the default settings in BIOS ? If not go into ur bios and tell it to load defaults or fail safe settings, just a thought...

        yeah, shepps has a good point there....it may be trying to use Fastwrites/Sideband Adressing or AGP 4x or some other setting that the motherboard/Video Card, may not be compatible with...just an idea. As Shepps said, try default setting, or disabling some of those options.

              Well, since you've already got the latest bios and video card drivers....and it's still not working, you could try, as i said, disableing various options in the bios. I'm not familiar with your motherboard inparticular....but try changing the "AGP Apature Size" around....eg. try 64MB, 128MB, 256MB...that (may) help. Also try turning off "AGP Fastwrites"....and other AGP/Video related settings....try changing the "AGP speed" from 4x to 2x or from 2x to 4x....stuff like that.

              Anyway, good luck :thumb:

                hmmm it's highly unlikely but could it be possible that your mobo is faulty? this is almost stupidly impossible...but ypu neva know....:afro:
                good luck with it

                btw u can always reformat just incase that fixes it...altohugh highly unlikely from the sound of things....also if u havn't alreadi tried....clear cmos
