Hi Jeff - I've seen that on several PC's. I've seen several that have had the video driver go corrupt. BUT, I'm pretty sure in some cases, Microsoft update can also load an incompatible driver onto the card. Sometimes vendors like Dell or whoever will have a customized driver for a specific card that works ONLY for their brand of PC and other drivers, even for that same card, will not work. In other words, then the MS version autoloads on it and kills the machine. Try going to the safe mode menu and going to "VGA" mode. If that doesn't work, you're running out of options. The easiest thing I've found from that point (since you CAN sometimes swap another video card in), is do a clean Windows reinstall from the CD. You don't have to format the hard drive, so you can leave all your files out there, just put Windows in a new subdirectory - for example, I always just put the new OS in C:\WINXP on most machines I rebuild... HTH, Howard
