After about 18 months of almost exclusive WinAMD usage (except for sporadic use of UAE) my PC died in quite strange circumstances last week when it crashed during an XP reinstall and now stubbornly refuses to even display a BIOS menu.

Was it an ATI videocard?

I got some strange problems with a windows driver, and then I restarted the computer, and it wouldn't display the bios and so. Something was wrong with displaying ASCII.

As soon as I have enough money, I'll buy the cheapest NVidia videocard. I've had nothing but troubles with modern ATI videocards (old ones, like mach64, were always good though)
And yes, I tried every old and new driver, including the omega driver.
