Hi comrades in ARMS!
In another thread I was explaining a problem with Nixiyo, my
Iyonix PC, when booting. I can now say more about the symptons.
If I boot Nixiyo after a short time from shut down, it boots up
normally.
If I boot Nixiyo after a long time from previous use, it boots
up, but with nothing on the screen, no text, no desktop, just a
black screen. If I then get to the * prompt and type *NV , where
NV is the name of an obey file in the root directory which
produces a list of the pci devices, looking at the list later
shows the normal list including the NVidia graphics card.
Typing "*RMReinit NVidia RETURN RETURN" immediately after boot up
usually produces nothing; but after leaving Nixiyo on for about 20
minutes, repeating this command several times gradually produces
brighter "Input not supported" message and then a flash of the
desktop. Each time the two images gradually get brighter until the
first stays on the screen. After a few more repeats of the command,
I get the desktop to stay and I can use Nixiyo as normal.
I had the (original) PSU replaced with an HEC PSU 7 months ago,
due to Nixiyo freezing on boot up, but not the 'black screen'
problem.
So is it the graphics card or the PSU again?
Cheers,
David Lane
