    I have a P-4 2.2G running Windows XP Home with all Service Pak upgrades. System memory is 1GB. ASUS motherboard with only PCI slots. Dell 19" Wide monitor with VGA & DVI inputs. Recently, my PCI e-GeForce FX 5200 DVI video card went bad. I replaced it with a e-GeForce 6200 DVI video card. When I turned the computer on, the initial boot up screen comes up as normal. The display then shows the Windows XP logo sceen. After that, the screen goes blank, even though I hear the computer continuing to boot up. I must pull the power cord to shut the computer off. I switched to the VGA port on the monitor and connected to the on-board video chip on the motherboard. With that connection, everything works normally. When the 6200 was connected via DVI, as was the 5200, the graphics in the BIOS was set AUTO (verses on-board). I changed it to on-board when I connect using the on-board video chip. Has anyone run into a similiar problem and found a solution?

    Welcome to WindowsBBS :)

    Did you uninstall the FX 5200 drivers and then install the 6200 drivers?

    I would try that monitor on another computer using DVI and see if it works there before pulling your hair out trying to troubleshoot the computer.
