Since its my display I'm putting this in this section. Since I think the source of the problem is my mobo I am posting there as well. Sorry for the double post! I am not a spammer :x:

Before I start let me clarify that I have searched many threads and tried countless things. That said I am not posting BEFORE I searched all the current threads for my problem.

System Specs
Gigabyte GA-k8NSC 939 Nforce-3
AMD 64 +3800
BFG Geforce 7800 AGP
1gig Atlas Ram, 256X2 Corsair XMS Ram 1.5gigs
Windows XP Home (now with Sp2...)

MY system will not get out of VGAsave mode. I would like to state that this system has functioned entirely fine for over 2-3 months with the exact specs. What happened was a couple of days ago I had a problem with my network driver after installing a clean version of Torrent (I am never using P2P's again!) I uninstalled all gigabyte drivers except my display driver and rebooted to reinstall my default drivers from the manufacturer disk. VGAsave mode comes up and I R screwed!

I reinstalled windows 3 times, with a clean partition specifically for Windows (leavng my other two gaming/storage partitions alone), installed all current updates, installed LATEST gigabyte chipset drivers, including bios, tried F8 to force boot into VGA mode, I cannot install my Video card because it says it does not exist. I took out the card, cleaned it and put it back in, cleaned the system and checked for any loose connections, I know it has something to do with that bad network driver and when I reinstalled, something got corrupt. I used Driver cleaner (Latest version) to remove any and all drivers with the word Nvidia attached to them (including the Nforce3 drivers) Apparently I may have a conflict on my system resources, I will post the conflicitng device list in next post (this is my laptop).

Please somone help me!!! :-( :-( :-(

This is the conflict under vgasave driver properties. I'm hopins this is the problem... and that my mobo isnt permananty screwed into thinking my vid card is fux0red. Both my I/O range's and my memory range show a conflict.

You said you Re-Installed Windows 3 times, did you do an upgrade or a complete fresh install and formatted the partition with Windows on? Maybe try resetting CMOS?,you see on the Mobo there is a round battery?, just to the bottom left of that there is 2 pins, put a jumper on that, turn the comp on for about 3 seconds, turn the computer off and then take the jumper off, see if that solves it.
 
yeah I popped the cmos mobo battery. Clean install (not upgrade) on cleanly refrotmatted NTFS created partitions after using Partition Magic.
 
Hmmm, you tried resetting CMOS too, maybe taking battery out reset it though.

I am intrested to know what it might be, i aint sure, someone else might know though :)
