671712 2008-05-22 21:51:00 Good Morning!
IBM Aptiva 2194; Windows 2000
1st boot was successful any further boots following failed unless left unplugged for several hours.
was dusty interior - cleaned
has on board video & video card
replaced psu; connected to on-board video, could see the boot through Windows 2000 status bar when it reached the end the display killed but the boot continued successfully - I could tell this because I can see the hdd light activity, when it finished I was able to shut down the computer through keyboard standand shut down.
moved the video connection to the video card - no display at all, complete boot
removed all pci cards: no change
changed the pci video card: no change

the computer is successfully booting but no video
Any suggestions.

Thank you

671714 2008-05-22 22:52:00 boots in safe mode, with display connected to on-board.
no visuals when trying to boot to safe mode with pci video card

671715 2008-05-22 23:10:00 booted into vga mode
reset the display settings for the on-board video - the display is not clear regardless of the settings
rebooted: clear visuals!

would seem that the pci video card was the cause of the original problem


Thank you for your help
