I have a Intel 740 graphics chip set for my AGP graphics card. When I install my Drivers (eather pv3_2w or PV4.0V) my computer freezes at the end of rebooting when its verifying the DMI pool data. I have no other option but to restart, but when I get to the desktop a get a msg saying "There is a problem with your display settings. The adapter type is incorrect, or the current settings do not work with your hardware." when I click ok the display properties pop up and my res at 640x480 with 16 colors. If I try and change my res or color it gives me the option to restart but when I do that everything starts all over to the verifying DMI pool data and of course freezing.
I have tried the latest drivers (PV4.0V), I've reinstalled windows, I've even formated and installed SE (thats where im at now) but I still get the same problem. There are no IRQ coflics but I even tryed that (the weird thing was restarting shut down my system even before it got to verifying my DMI pool data).
I would write it all off as just a burnt out card but a couple of times when windows crashed my display adapter just worked after it restarted (don't ask me why I havent a clue) and the device manager recognizes my card. I havent yet upgraded my BIOS im not sure if thats needed but of course my card worked before with the original BIOS.
I have a CTX VL950 monitor, Diamond Monster 2 (voodoo 2), Yamaha DS-XG sound card (PCI), MDP3858SP-U Modem (PCI), P-II 400mhz, 128mb ram, 11.2 Big foot HD, Hitachi DVD-Rom GD-2500, Mitbishi LS-120 drive, and a External Backpack CD-RW 4x4x6.
Oh, and I think the last thing I did on my system was play Grim Fandango witch I don't think was using my Monster 2, just the i740 so that might mean something. ANYWAY thats probably way more info then needed for the problem wether its fixable or not and thanks a MILLION for reading this far it certanly is not an easy problem but certanly a great challenge lol.
Thanks,

P.S. Plz no **** posts like "GET A NEW CARD" or something along those lines. I don't have the money for one EVEN just a ****ty little i740.
