Boots up, no display?

[Faction]

im having a very annoying problem.

just built a computer from older parts,
socket a,
agp,
512mb of ram.

it booted up fine with display once. but now it still boots up fine but no display at all.

ive tried swapping with a known good GPU, other suggestions of parts to change out?

(yes ive tried different monitors/different cables.)

ive also tried the VGA and DVI ports on both cards.

I had that same issue with a 3DFX card after installing drivers.
Once the drivers were removed, it worked fine

Try booting into safemode (F8 while rebooting) and see if it shows the display. If so, then the drivers are being stubborn, if not....... cant help ya

I'm in the same boat as you Faction. I just ordered a new rig. If I get mine working it'll make a good server/media center of sorts i guess.
