refresh rate or pixel size it can't handel then reboots

by DScheaffer Jun 8, 2005 9:45PM PDT

Just install W2K on a one-year-old generic computer. After installation was complete I booted up for the first real time it ask for the password then just as it brings up the Desktop it looks like the monitor is getting a refresh rate or pixel size it can?t handle then reboots on its own.

When I boot up in ?VGA mode? it works like it should. I have reset the refresh rate and the pixel size and even uninstall the display adaptor and when I let it boot up in normal mode it does the same thing.

Most common gaffe?

by r. proffitt Former Forum moderator Jun 8, 2005 10:00PM PDT

Today's Windows installers (people) are not aware about all the drivers that Microsoft does not supply. Better than 9 in 10 new to Windows and even old hands forget that Microsoft does not fetch or install for us the drivers for motherboard, video and more.

Best of luck,

Bob
