If it happens in safe mode though, to me it sounds like you've got a faulty AGP slot rather than chipset drivers.
Have you got more than one AGP slot on your motherboard? Do you have access to another computer with an AGP slot?
Video drivers could have been corrupted on shutdown perhaps. Or some malicious code installed that required a reboot to actually execute the code?
Have you tried changing the cable? That fixed an issue I had with my ancient monitor in the past. ;)
When you tried the other monitors, was it with the same cable?
I had mine cleaned about 2 hours ago, first time ever - hence what will be a major temperature difference once I've reconnected everything (can't...
New PSU fixed the hard drive speed issue, but the CPU/RAM readings are still coming back in the same varying pattern.
This thread is now useless as we've found two molex to SATA power connectors anyway. New PSU fitted to the old case, as the motherboard isn't ATX,...
What rip-offs those are. I can get the adaptor for £1.54 and no shipping costs. :p
I had actually searched it after I posted, having come to a similar conclusion. However, I still wanted to find a free method of making things...
OK, I have my new PSU sat waiting for the new case to arrive. But I've just noticed, which wasn't advertised, that it only has 2 SATA connectors...
Well, that will have to wait until I get my new case/PSU then. :/
Windows.old does exist there - is that why? Do I need to move/remove that?
The first hard drive in that is the older one - Dell being Dell, I can't prioritize the drives.
The DVD-RW drive is set as the first boot device, or have I misunderstood you?
That didn't work at all. I deleted the partition, repaired the Vista install, and all it did was recreate the partition again!
Ah well, next time I reboot I'll have to put the Vista disc in.
No, because on XP I was able to change the booted from device in an ini file, when cleaning up the mess used by a file cloning program.
1. Damnit, typical Microsoft preventing you from fixing things yourself. 2. The hard drive I am trying to format is "D ", the old "C" drive,...
I'm fairly sure the old system partition is causing a large mess, but I have a few questions: 1. Is there a way in Vista, by hand (in notepad...
