I probably see the potential cause would be the baud rate. ( just because you see some garbled messages )
Cisco routers by default has 2 bits allocated for baud rate. 2 bits make 4 combinations viz, 1200, 4800, 9600 and 2400. Try these settings one by one on the Hyperterm session that you had connected the system and try. Let me know the outcome.
