Big Problem - Installing Any Video Driver causes Montior - OFF

Unemuzerexer · Mar 25, 2007, 03:08 AM

Anyone able to help me with installing AGP Drivers?
Every time i install them, at end of installation when it switches Refresh rate or Resolution my Monitor turns off and the light goes from Green to Orange.

I then have to reset my computer, and unless i go to VGA Mode or SAFE MODE, my Normal Bootup where it says Log In, my screen turns of every time.

Any way to fix?

I got AOC 9k Monitor and AGP NVIDA 6600GT

*This happened after i exited my game and my monitor turned of and has happened since.*

Can you check the monitors operation on another computer? Or try another monitor on yours? It would help narrow the problem down some.

i Tried another montior on this computer and same thing happened. Last nite i managed to get nivida normal drivers working for 2 minuites before it went into standby mode again.

I cant seem to figure out what is causing it apart from it ONLY happens when i have a video driver installed.

Try disabling Power management features for standby in your system BIOS (restart and hold down the Delete key to enter system BIOS).

See if that will help any?

I also have a feeling that my computer is reading my CRT Monitor as a DIGITAL montior therefore whenever i set a resolution or refresh higher then that it thinks is possible it turns off? any way to force the computer to make it into ANALOG?

If you're using the anaolg output, that's what you're getting. You could try using system restore to return to a time when it didn't happen. If you have access to another AGP card, try installing it and set the windows refresh rate and display settings to a low setting. Then re-install your 6600.
