The video card's BIOS is corrupted and needs reflashing. You'll need to force reflash the BIOS and probably the card's PINS file too, although I unfortunately don't have a G200 series file here. If you search the matroxusers.com's forum you should be able to find what you need. -- Richard Hopkins Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom (replace .nospam with .com in reply address) The UK's leading technology reseller www.dabs.com Get the most out of your digital photos www.dabsxpose.com |

Try looking here Denis: http://grafi.ii.pw.edu.pl/gbm/matrox/ If you look through Grzegorz's site you'll find PINS files for the G200 series as well as the emergency BIOS flash instructions and recovery tools. The only issue, and one I forgot to mention earlier, is that you'll need to borrow (or find) a PCI graphics card of some sort in order to boot the system in command line mode before you can get to fixing your Matrox. -- Richard Hopkins Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom (replace .nospam with .com in reply address) The UK's leading technology reseller www.dabs.com Get the most out of your digital photos www.dabsxpose.com |
