I have a XFX 8800GT, running Windows XP SP3.
I've started having issues where the computer would boot fine, it shows the Windows XP loading logo, but after that I get a blank screen and a No Signal message on the monitor.
If I run safe mode, it boots fine and I can get into windows, it does not give any No Signal message.
So what I've done is, go into safe mode, uninstall the video drivers and that lets me boot into windows no problem in normal mode. I installed the latest Nvidia drivers, but my resolution seems to be very messed up.
It does not seem to be changing the resolution at all. It seems to be stuck in 800x600 or 1024x768 or something like that. My monitor is a Soyo 24", so if I try high resolutions, instead of making everything smaller and fitting it on the screen it keeps it as if its still 800x600 or something like that, but expands it so things go out of my view area.
I have to take my mouse and move it to the right, left, up, down and it will 'scroll'. Think of your browser window, how everything is not displayed at once, you have to scroll down to view the rest of the page.
I've tried older drivers, and those give the no signal error. Is there something wrong with my video card or did something get corrupted in windows.
Thanks for reading.
