PROBLEM: Screen Blanks Out During The Start Or At Login Screen Of Windows XP
(Article: 1292)
Summary
Screen goes blank/black for a second or two on boot or log-in. Some monitors may look like they are being degaussed instead of blank for that second or two.
Symptom
Screen goes blank/black for a second or two on boot or log-in. Some monitors may look like they are being degaussed instead of blank for that second or two.
Cause
The drivers for this card load a control applet (as part of the driver) that initializes all the connected video devices. The applet's initialization process may cause the primary display to briefly (one or two seconds) go blank on boot or log-in.
Resolution
This is an anomaly that does not affect performance or stability. It is not a problem and normal for the card/driver set.
