Why does my monitor go blank?
-
after downloading the drivers for an nvidia fx 5500 card my monitor works fine until it finishes loading then goes blank. i'm at wits end. should i trash it or is ther a way to correct this problem?

Answer:
Boot into safe mode (press F8 key before windows starts loading) and pick a lower resolution and refresh rate, then reboot. Check the monitor's instruction book to see what the maximum resolution/refresh rate is for that monitor, and do not set the computer's display settings above those maximums.

If you can’t find the right drivers manually, try this site: http://www.drivers-updates.net/ There is a program I use which will find drivers for just about all hardware devices. The best part is it takes a snapshot of your system specifications and matches the right driver to go with it. You can also search by the following link: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drivers-updates.net%2F&bwm=p&bwms=p&fr=yfp-t-701&fr2=seo-rd-se And you can also keep asking on: http://www.computerforums.org/
The driver may have set the resolution to something not supported by the monitor. Im assuming finishes loading means booting in to the OS. try starting the computer into Safe mode hitting F8 before the windows Splash screen, then set the resolution down to the lowest setting and reboot. if that works work your way up.
