Cool Boot Problem

[giggs11]

Hello:

Just wondering if anyone knows how to solve a cool boot problem? Is it just a matter of downloading the VGA drivers for my MB?

This is what I have:

AMD XP 1700
256 MB
40 GB HD
Win XP

Geforce 440 mx 64MB

What the hell is a "cool boot" problem ????

The "cold video card boot problem" is when the computer consistently does not see the video card when the computer has cooled down, but the computer always sees the video card after the computer has warmed up by waiting five minutes or so and then pressing the reset button.

I think it is more a problem in your BIOS settings.
Check the bios if you have the primary display set to AGP.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I changed the setting to AGP and...nothing...screen went blank.

So, I reset the CMOS jumpers and tested another video card.

VOILA!! it appears the answer is because I have a faulty card..
