All in Wonder 7500 stopped working all of a sudden

Hi,

I have been using my AIW 7500 for about 2 years with no problems.
Last night I played a movie in Windows media player and fell asleep.
When I woke up. The screen was black. I rebooted and there was still
no video output during POST or when windows XP booted up (i know
windows boots, because I can hear the startup/shutdown noises). Does
anyone have any idea what the problem might be or how to fix it?

Thanks,
Lance

I'm using WinMe with my 7500 but exactly the same thing happens to me
periodically. It's probably not the card itself. I just reinstall the
display driver from safe mode and that fixes it.

Have you checked the monitor on another computer?
