Tim, try this for me. Open the case and look for a little round
battery. Remove the battery for a couple of minutes and put it back in.
Now turn on the computer and see if anything has changed. It is
possible that whatever drivers you installed may have enabled something
in the BIOS that the computer does not agree with. It could be Fast
Writes or Side Band Addressing. Anyways, doing what I mentioned above
will clear the BIOS settings and put them all back to default or Fail
Safe settings. It's a long shot, but it just might work. If not, you
may want to try a different video card just to see if the POST shows up
properly (you can turn the computer off after POST before WIndows loads
if you are worried about that).
