lost video at XP splash screen

I have a clients PC that the screen goes black at the XP Home splash screen.
When I boot into the safe mode I get to the login screen then the screen
goes black.

I have removed and replaced the video card and also tried using the VGA
mode. Same problem. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

It sounds like you have the incorrect driver or a corrupted driver.
If you can't boot to safe mode it'll be a real PITA.
Do you have a different card you can try?

I had a new video card I installed but the result was the same.
