System: Asus A7V33 MB, AthlonXP 2100 CPU, 512 Meg RAM, NVidia G4 Ti4200 vid card. Monitor is a vpr Matrix 17 LCD. Reloaded Suse and it works fine. Yes, the drive was reformated before and after. So what doesn't Mandrake like about this system that Suse likes? hijacking a thread instead of starting a new one did you not set up the video card and monitor? when you say black screen do you mean no writing at all? not even bios info?

Wow... Thx Lyvim I shall do that ASAP :) I'll let you know how it turns out.
