My controller boots fine until I get to Windows, at which point I cannot
read the screen. This may include garbled output, white screen, black
screen, or an out of sync message from the monitor.
This problem usually results from having the video card output set past the
limits of the monitor. You will need to boot Windows in Safe Mode. To do
this, reboot the controller. As Windows begins to boot, hold down <F8>.
You should now be able to reset the video driver to lower settings. Try
setting the resolution to 640 ×480 and the refresh rate to 60 Hz. After you
reboot, you can raise these values again, using the test option in Windows.
These settings are accessible through the Advanced tab of the Display item
in the Control Panel. Alternately, you can try a different monitor,
preferably a newer and larger one.
My CMOS is corrupted. How do I set it back to default?
1. Enter the BIOS setup program as described in the BIOS Configura tion
section of Chapter 3, Configuration and Default Settings.
2. Press <F9> to load BIOS defaults.
3. Answer Y (Yes) to the verification prompt.
4. Select Save and Exit Setup.
I can’t change the display on the controller from 640 ×480 to
800 ×600. What’s wrong?
Be sure the video driver is installed. If it is not, refer to the Drivers.txt
file on the hard drive or recovery CD-ROM.
