Bizarre problem with my TFT

I have mentioned this problem before but I have some more findings now.

Basically, my machine doesn't show what's happening before the XP logon screen. Well, now it shows the "boot from CD" prompt only.

This started happening after I tried a multi monitor (1xVGA, 1xDVI) setup.

The funny thing is, when both monitors are connected, everything is fine.

I have tried uninstaling catalyst, changing ports to no avail. I cannot understand how windows software can affect what happens in BIOS.

I have upgraded the card's bios to no avail.

Any advice?

Ta.

Re: Bizarre problem with my TFT

Windows and Catalyst will have nothing to do with this - its simly an issue in your motherboards BIOS or more likely your GFX card BIOS.

I would suggest a trip to www.Rage3D.com and post there to find out if other users have had any similar issues.
