No display during POST
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2002 3:25 am
I just put together a Shuttle AV18E-based system. The screen goes blank during the hardware detection/POST phase of boot-up.
At the start of boot-up, the video card identification displays, then the screen goes blank for a few seconds, and suddenly the System Configuration table pops up. (If I hit DEL during this period, the BIOS Setup comes up fine.)
My video card is a Diamond Stealth 2500. An antique, I know, but it's all I need. Since, as I said, the card does identify itself at the start of boot-up and otherwise the display is fine, I don't see how it can be the problem.
No BIOS setting that I've tried has any effect.
The board came with the most recent version of the BIOS. I don't want to try reinstalling it unless there's a good chance that will do the job.
Anybody have any ideas?
