Title: Reset Video Card
Post by: Audioman1 on January 12, 2009, 09:48:32 AM

Is there a way to reset my video card? XFX 6800 GTX
 My pc won't boot up past the windows screen after I updated my video drivers.
and the arrow keys don't let me choose another way to boot. Strange.. Like Last Best
 It says no Video Input and starts the boot up all over again.

Can you get it to Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key at boot? Then uninstall the video driver? Was this acting up before the driver change?

Are you tapping, or pressing F8 key?

I tryed both and it still wouldn't enter. The card just wouldn't work, so I called XFX and they are going to repair it since I had a lifetime warranty. Kind of hard to replace it since its a XFX 6800 Extreme AGP.
 Lucky I got this laptop for my birthday sat.
Thanks Guys
