Any help regarding this problem would be great, as Im completely stumped.
Trying to set up a sort of basic HTPC/Home Server for the lounge running on an old 2.4 AMD and some other bits I had laying around. The thing worked fine for years, and was up until quite recently. However, I now have a problem where after the Windows loading screen the display just goes black, and hangs - With certain variations.
Windows XP sp2 - Black and hangs after loading screen.
Windows XP sp3 - Blue screen with dark stripes with mouse after loading screen, but hangs.
Windows 2003 Server - Works fine, after first installing drivers in safe mode.
All versions boot in to Safe Mode fine and install display drivers with no error messages.
Linux distributions that I have tried do the same, load up until a certain point.. Then display goes black just before login prompt.
Anyone have any ideas?
