    Question Monitor not receiving signal after cold boot, but OK after Reboot

    I solved the problem. I changed my driver from the latest one to a driver dated 01/10/2022 (Version 511.23). A friend had bought the same card as me when I did and remembered that at one time he upgraded drivers and ran into problems which caused him to restore his old driver. He gave me the...

    Question Monitor not receiving signal after cold boot, but OK after Reboot

    SSD Won't Boot - Data OK

    Derek, When I boot from the W7 DVD the first thing I see is the W7splash screen. No Loading Files. No Startup Repair line. All I can do is hit the arrow that says Install. If I do that then it says Copying Files. That's where I stopped it. Is it safe to allow it to keep copying files?
