ok first off my system is as follows:
Jetway 720 BF motherboard
3 PCI Slots 2 ISA slots
SIS 620 onboard VGA chip
Intel Celeron 366mhz CPU
64 meg pc100 ram
4.3 gig quantum hard disk
Creative Vibra 128 soundcard
14 inch super VGA monitor
i have had this system for a little over a year, and in that time i have been using the onboard VGA chip, with no problems at all.
yesterday i decided to finally get with the times and buy a good fast 2d/3d card. I purchased a "Powercolor - 32 meg nVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64 PCI video card"
i went for PCI as my motherboard has no AGP slot.
i have disabled the onboard video on the motherboard by closing jumper "J5". as directed in my Mobo manual.
i have installed the Powercolor - nVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64 PCI video card.
The computer detects the card, and it says "Nvidia riva TNT2 Model 64
32.00 mb" when i boot the computer. A few seconds later my monitor no longer displays anything and goes into suspend mode, then a few seconds later it works again and displays the Windows 98 startup screen, then the signal fails completley and it goes into suspend mode. (windows has booted as if nothing is wrong, i just can't see anything!)
i've tried the new video card in all 3 PCI slots and removed all other cards from the system and the problem remains.
i have tested the card in pure dos mode, by loading up quake 1, the video seems to only fail and go into suspend mode when trying certain screen resolutions:
320 x 240: fails, 640 x 480: fails, 1024 x 768: fails
320 x 200: works, 640 x 400: works, 800 x 600: works
my monitor works perfectly in all resolutions with the old onboard video chip.
i have tested the Powercolor - nVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64 PCI in a friends computer and it worked with no problems at all.
can anyone help me with this problem?
