I am running Win2000 on a 1.8 gh Sytax K7SV266AD mb with 785,904 kb of 
memory.  With VIA chipset .It has worked great for a year.  Installed  a 
new Radeon 9550 (ATI)  AGP video board  and have had nothing but 
problems since.  When installed it worked fine, but turning off the 
system and back on the next day all I get is a black screen and the 
monitor is in sleep mode.  The HD makes it's normal noise and then HD 
led stays on. (replaced HD same problem) If I reboot about three times 
in a row the monitor comes on.  Called  ATI and they recommended new 
drivers and BIOS update. So did this and still have same problem with 
monitor not coming on after a cold reboot.  It does come back after a 
warm reboot.
I have searched the Internet for this problem and came across it many 
times but never any solutions.  I have AGP enabled in BIOS. Is there 
something else I am missing in BIOS?
Or maybe a different monitor, it's a Compaq V710.
If I install the old diamond PC video board back in everthing works normal.
