Further to my "Black -screen" thread a few days ago, the mystery
continues. I don't know what else to try after doing this...

(PC1 is where the fault is. When a cpu intensive (eg complie C++
program under visual studio) task starts, screen goes totally black.
When task ends screen re-appears.
Asus mobo A7N, Nvidiea 8X AGP w2k os.
)

Try differnt AGP card - fault persists
Try remove all AGP, and install PCI Matrox millenium - fault persists
Try CRT in place of TFT display - fault persists
Try experimenting with agp settings in BIOS - fault persists

Try TFT monitor on PC2 - ca completely differnt machine NO faults - no
black screens all is fine.


So it doesn't look like a faulty TFT (Belinea) - cable or faulty AGP
cards or drivers (as the MAtrix card uses a differnt one).

Seems to be something on the motherboard (agree?)

Should I consider flashing a more recent MOBO BIOS? (not keen to do
that though)

you checked your cpu temps in bios?
