Hi!

I have a motherboard from Asus - CUV4X - and when I was updating the drivers 4-in1 from VIA, from 4.26 to 4.29, the computer turned off after the instalation! When I try to turn it on, the computer starts as usually, but without turning on my monitor and this way I can NOT see anything in the screen!!

I tried to plug an old PCI graphics card, and this is the only way I can have access to my computer! I already tried to do the uninstall of the drivers and a lot of things, but nothing changed!! Every time I put my GeForce in the AGP slot, I can never turn on the monitor!!

Is there any possibility that I had damaged the AGP slot of my motherboard or my GeForce, by a simple updating of drivers????

The fact of have done this update and in case of have damaged (how????) something, will I lost the guarantee??

I would be very thankful if you could help me!!!!


With the best regards,

José Rui

This has nothing to do with drivers. It's definately a hardware problem. The drivers on an OS should not ever keep you from posting to the BIOS at least. Your drivers are installed on your Harddrive so they have no effect on your AGP slot. If you booted into windows and got a black screen that is different.

I would try pluggin in your video card into another Mobo to see if it works. If it does then your agp slot on your mobo is bad.

But before any of that try shorting your CMOS and rebooting with your system at all of it's defaults with the AGP card.

Also are you overclocking at all?

If you take a truth and follow it blindly, it will become a Falsehood and you a Fanatic.
