Well, resetting the CMOS is "free" and doesn't require a trip to the store, so give that a whirl first. If it doesn't work, try getting a cheap video card and try that. I wouldn't go crazy on the video...some nVidia-based cards are cheap at $50USD or so and would probably be as good as the one built-in to the mobo. > Much thanks for your quick reply, No worries.
