Ah thats what you get for copying and pasting whilst at work, however it was
sufficient get my point across without the need for such a snotty pedantic
retort.
However thank your for your reply, I suspect that the card may be failing,
This wouldn't surprise me as the lad that I am updating the PC for has a
nasty habit of frying Graphics cards, I will try another monitor,
Unfortunatley I cannot try the card in another pc as most people i know
around here are on PCIe and the card in question is AGP.

I have a problem that is driving me crazy, As you know i have just updated
my machine from AMD based to Intel this is going fine and all working
sweet as, I have sold the old mobo, processor and ram to a friend and
installed in his machine for him, All appears to have gone well with the
install of the os, It boots okay, has update windows okay, activated okay
etc etc, However when I install the graphic drivers for his 7600GS it goes
through the motions then gives a blank screen, sound etc can still be
heard indicating that he machine is working but not displaying, Try a
reboot and you get as far as the Windows loading screen with the blue bar
and then just before the log on screen would appear it goes blank again,
Sytem boots into safe mode okay with display and also vga mode okay with
display. Remove the drivers and the system will boot normally into windows
again with standard vga mode.
Attempt to re-install the drivers and the same thing happens all over
again.
I have tried both DVI and VGA cable to rule out resolution and refresh
rate.
The only realistic conclusion that I can come up with is that maybe as my
monitor is a High Def Synchmaster wide screen jobbie, that the card when
the drivers are installed is kicking out a resolution / refresh that the
monitor can't use.
I have tried various different versions of the forceware drivers.
I can't imagine why you think we would know anything about what you've done
except that you're posting using the web interface to these Usenet
newsgroups and you think this is a web forum (it's not).
As for whether the card can handle your monitor, here are the card's tech
specs (from Nvidia - http://www.nvidia.com/object/7_series_techspecs.html)
Advanced Display Functionality
* Dual integrated 400MHz RAMDACs for analog display resolutions up to
and including 2048x1536 at 85Hz
* Dual-link DVI capability to drive the industry's largest and highest
resolution digital flat panel displays up to 2560x16001
* Integrated HDTV encoder provides analog TV-output
(Component/Composite/S-Video) up to 1080i resolution
* Full NVIDIA® nView® multi-display technology capability
Those are pretty high specs so unless you have a monitor that is covering an
entire wall I doubt that's the reason. However, test by attaching the
computer to a different monitor. If the problem continues, the video card
is failing and should be replaced.
