Re: Computer hangs on startup following change of monitor

I have tried booting from the setup disk - this hangs halfway through
loading drivers
I have tried booting in safe mode - same result. I have even tried booting
from a boot floppy disk with no success. I continually get to the windows
logo screen and then the computer freezes with the "progress bar" in various
positions. Any ideas would be appreciated!
