Ok, so i tried to install a new video card on my computer last night. I went to start it up and got to the windows xp loading screen with the scrolling bars and then it goes to a black screen and hangs there. I think my problem is i disabled my onboard video, and the new card i installed doesnt want to work at all. I cant get into windows to re enable the onboard video, and when i press F8 to get to start up options all i get is an option to boot from CDROM, hard drive, or floppy. One time i got a blue screen telling me it stopped my computer from starting up to avoid damage, but i dont remember what it said. I took out the new video card, and im sure the fix is getting the onboard video working again, but i cant get past the loading screen to do that.
Im running windows xp, its a custom built computer, maybe half a year old. I dont think the new video card specs are relevant to this but if they are ill post them.
Also, my main problem is not being able to use safe mode at all. Ive never had a reason to use it before, and usually its F8 F10 or something, and XP is F8 last time i looked and for some reason it doesnt give me any of the normal startup options, just what i posted above.
