boot up problem

[rodrigof]

Try to phisically remove the videoboard, reboot the Pc, startup and the plugin again the VB, It just works for me.

If, after following VB and Lynx's suggestions, you still have this issue you can try this (may not work, but certainly won't hurt....):
-Boot to safe mode and use Driver Cleaner to scrub away all traces of your current drivers.
-Install the correct drivers for your card.
-Install and run Bootvis (three traces and a final optimize pass).

Seems to me that your vid drivers are not loading properly during the boot sequence- if so, this procedure should take care of it.
The fact that your card does eventually initialize makes this more of an irritant than a "problem" but I can see how it would be worth fixing.

Clocker, I think you've missed the point.

The card is ok once windows has loaded the drivers, but until that point there is no output from the graphics card. The conclusion is that the bios is using the built-in adapter, not the add-in card.

[clocker]

Maybe, maybe not.

Seems to me that if he can see BIOS at all then the hardware knows what vid source it's supposed to be using, it's Windows and it's boot sequence that is screwed up.
However, this wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.
