    i have a raedon 9200 series agp video card and in the bios settings i wanted to increase shared ram so i set it to 256mb but it was for pci, so i changed is to agp, then saved and exit. now when i turn on my pc i get no display not even bios options. but i think its still booting up win xp normally because of the hardrive sounds i hear.

    also i had a 'older' agp video card so i tryed it but still same problem! :(

    is there a way to reset the settings?? or any other solution?

    thank you

    reset the bios on the motherboard, remove the battery and short out the reset jumper for a few seconds. You can find where the jumper is in the manual (paper or online).

    but remove the external power corf 1st. shared ram is for onboard video not videocards.
