Hoster Video

[tymzend]

Hi folks,

I got Hoster 3.300 a couple of days ago, and it's sweet.

Last night, we got set up and fired up the MTU Portable PC, and got ready to start our show. We always tend to run a couple of songs through the computer prior to the show, just because it seems to help "clear the throat" for the PC.

Well, anyway, we get ready to start the first song, and the video on the big screen goes out, along with the video on the singer's TV.

So, we reboot, and the computer doesn't get past the screen that says "BIOSTAR", prior to the boot sequence. So, I repeat, several times to no avail.

Finally, I take out the video card, and put it back in, just to make sure it was seated properly. I turn on the computer (WITHOUT the secondary displays hooked up), and it boots up fine. So, I shut it back down, and hook up the singer's TV, and it won't boot back up past the BIOSTAR screen, prior to the boot sequence.

By now, my blood pressure is starting to go up.

So, we reboot again, just for giggles, and it finally boots up with the singers display hooked up. Didn't hook the big screen back up, just because I didn't want to push our luck.

Think the video card might be taking a crap?

If so, can anyone recommend a video card that's an improvement over the ATI Radeon?
