Upgrade gone terribly wrong story and questions:
I recently upgraded my system (running Windows XP OEM with SP2
installed) by swaping out my radeon 9800 for a geforce 6800GT and
replacing my CRT with the new style Apple 23 monitor. I'm having two
major problems that I haven't been able to resolve:
1) My machine will not boot XP unless I have my old monitor plugged
into the VGA port on the 6800GT. If the analog monitor is plugged in
things kick in on the DVI connected Apple monitor but if just the DVI
is connected it will not boot into XP (this is not just the issue with
text mode display see #2). I've tried a number of things based on
reading some other posts with DVI problems. Here is what I've already
tried without any success:
:: Reinstalled latest NVidia reference drivers
:: Nvidia control panel - Triple checked that DVI monitor is set as
primary display
:: Deleted CRT monitor from My Computer->Hardware Settings and
rebooted with it disconnected.
I'm pulling my hair out over this one any help would be greatly
appreciated.
2) The 6800GT will not display any of the bios or text mode boot
screens on the Apple Monitor. I've read other posts discussing this
problem including one that referenced a flash update for the radeon
9700 that resolved the issue. Is there anyway to get a flash update
from Nvidia for this. Has anyone successfully gotten text mode
displays running on a 6800 series card with and Apple monitor?
Thank you very much for any help!
