Installation problem. No video on first boot. Help!
I'm attempting to install a fresh copy of 7 ultimate 64 bit. I'm able to get through the initial installation steps (copying files and expanding files) however on the first boot my screen flickers and is sent to a black screen displaying "Mode Not Supported". Typically if there is just no signal the screen will display "No Signal Detected" so I'm wonderingn if this is a resolution/refresh issue.
I tried booting into safe mode and a 7 screen comes up telling me that "Setup cannot continue in safe mode" or something like that and then "Setup will continue after restart" and then reboots into normal mode and again I get the "Mode Not Supported" message on my display. Any ideas?
My system is as follows:
- AMD 6400+ with 6 gigs ram
- Two WD hd's (250 gigs/500 gigs)
- Onboard Realtek audio
- MSI K9N2SLI Platinum motherboard
Video stuff:
- Dual 8800 GTS's in an SLI configuration
- Samsung 37" 1080p LCD HDTV model: LN37A330J1D as display
- I'm using the component video output from the video card via the supplied adapter and a 6 foot length of good quality component video cable.
Do you need any other info?
Thanks in advance
