System Specs
Gigabyte GA-k8NSC 939 Nforce-3
AMD 64 +3800
BFG Geforce 7800 AGP
1gig Atlas Ram, 256X2 Corsair XMS Ram 1.5gigs
Windows XP Home (now with Sp2...)

MY system will not get out of VGAsave mode. I would like to state that this system has functioned entirely fine for over 2-3 months with the exact specs. What happened was a couple of days ago I had a problem with my network driver after installing a clean version of Torrent (I am never using P2P's again!) I uninstalled all gigabyte drivers except my display driver and rebooted to reinstall my default drivers from the manufacturer disk. VGAsave mode comes up and I R screwed!

I reinstalled windows 3 times, with a clean partition specifically for Windows (leavng my other two gaming/storage partitions alone), installed all current updates, installed LATEST gigabyte chipset drivers, including bios, tried F8 to force boot into VGA mode, I cannot install my Video card because it says it does not exist. I took out the card, cleaned it and put it back in, cleaned the system and checked for any loose connections, I know it has something to do with that bad network driver and when I reinstalled, something got corrupt. I used Driver cleaner (Latest version) to remove any and all drivers with the word Nvidia attached to them (including the Nforce3 drivers) Apparently I may have a conflict on my system resources, I will post the conflicitng device list in next post (this is my laptop).

Please somone help me!!! :-( :-( :-(

This is the conflict under vgasave driver properties. I'm hopins this is the problem... and that my mobo isnt permananty screwed into thinking my vid card is fux0red. Both my I/O range's and my memory range show a conflict.

481508 2006-08-31 03:32:00 Hello, this to me sounds like the mobo chipset drivers are either uninstalled, or require re-installing. If the o/s doesnt have all mobo information of hardware through the drivers, it often struggles to properly allocate resourses. SolMiester (139)
481509 2006-08-31 03:57:00 makes sense, except I've even tried installing the latest chipset drivers from Gigabyte >< megafr0 (11064)
