Upgrade diagnosis
Question:

My system worked fine until I incresed video resolution and/or color depth in Windows ?
Answer:

It is a more common problem using AGP video in Win95 than Win98. For motherboard using

non-Intel chipset like VIA, ALI, or SIS, and running Win95, you may need to run motherboard AGP

driver (bundled with USB driver in some version) before loading video

driver. For Win98, get an updated Win98 video driver. For Windows NT, get newest option pack for

better AGP supports.
Question:

Why did my system not boot up, (had no image on screen), after I install in the case ?
Answer:

If it booted OK outside the case, it could be an installation problem. Remove all cards and re-install

one a time. VGA card first. Make sure the card is fully inserted in the slot. (AGP card is more

sensitive and prone to error). In some situations, you

may need to bend the rear bracket on the 'L' to fit, or adjust stand-offs and screws beneath the

motherboard.

Check directions of cable connections, especially IDE.
