Have you tried to roll back the drivers. I had the same problem with an computer i used to own. I would put the latest drivers on and the screen would blank ut after loading.

11-25-2007

I did try rolling them back, Ive read everything from under-power supplied,
to bad memory mods , I really think its a Vista problem that will be worked
out when service pack one rolls out, thanks for the replie though! have a
good one Roy69

Repost with the exact model and manufacturer of the gfx card. In the meantime if you have the origanal disk for the card boot into safe mode, uninstall the drivers and reinstall from the disk. Hope this helps.

P.S. it is not a power problem you have.

good one to all!!!!!!!!

Im etting the same issue

ASUS M2A-VM Mobo (with latest bios installed - v.0901 i think which fixes video output flicker or black screen)
AMD x2 6000
4gb Kingston 667 Memory
GE8500GT Graphics
Running Vista 64

I installed Vista OK and then the 1st thing i did after installing the mobo drivers (chipset, network and onboard sound) was download and install the latest Nvidia drivers (prior to that Vista was using the standard VGA drivers and i was running fine 1280x1024 but aero runns like a dog as proper direct x support isnt working)

After rebooting I get the small progress bar type screen then when it should switch to the vista logo screen it goes blank with the odd screen flicker.

I have to force a reboot by powering off and back on then it asks if I want safe mode - I go in with safe mode and remove the nvidia drivers reboot and its back to working with the standard drivers.

I have tested the latest drivers (167 something) the latest beta (169) and the ones that came with the card (163 i think) and it happens on all 3
