[QUOTE="ch@ts, post: 1056549, member: 682"] I had the exact same problem a few weeks ago with my pov 7600gs. I think your video ram is gone. System would only boot in safe mode, screen was garbled at boot. I downclocked the ram using nvidias control panel (when I somehow managed to get the system to boot in xp..i changed the resolution to 640*480 to get it to boot), and after i did that I could increase the resolution to normal, (1680*1050) and it would run fine. I then edited my video card bios, and reset the ram clock rate to a lower value, and I could use the card for a few more days, but it progressively got worse. When you remove the nvidia drivers our screen resolution gets set to a lower value 800*600...so that may be why you can boot into xp after uninstalling the drivers. My card died toward the end of it's warranty so I didn't mind playing around with the bios, but if you've still got warranty then rma it. [/QUOTE]
