Default Win2000 & 98SE Loading Problems

Hi All,
I had Win98SE installed on my PC and have just recently
moved house.
When I plugged in my pc again everything seemed to work
fine until the
Win98 splash screen loaded. The computer just remained
stuck on the
splash screen and could not get past it. I could still
get onto safe
mode and dos mode fine.
I decided to reformat my HD and install Win 2000. However
the same
problem still occurs, when Win 2000 loads it goes onto a
blank screen
and cannot get past this. However, I can get onto Safe
mode and run
the OS in VGA mode.
I am very confused by this as the computer worked fine
before I moved
it and it works fine in Safe & VGA modes. Does anyone
have any idea
what this could be? I think it could be a graphics or
sound card
problem but I'm not sure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Many thanks

Ed Keen

The first steps to take for this issue after moving is to open the case =
and check all cables, connectors, wires, adapters/cards, etc to make =
sure all is seated/connected properly.

Thanks Brian,
I have checked all of the connections and everything
seems fine. I have reformated my HD and installed Win
2000 straight from scratch but it still goes to the blank
screen when its loading.
Do you have any other ideas as to what it might be?

Many thanks again

Ed

Being this is a Win98 ng, I suggest posting to a W2k ng if no one else =
comes up with something. I have never used W2K and don't know =
similarities/differences between 98/2K.

Can it be a switch was flipped on the monitor. I have two I know nothing
of, since switching to this spare NEC MultiSync FG Monitor Lens: "N-1-2
Color" which appears to be set at 2, & "Sync Switch", set to the right.
