Forums -> Multiple monitors -> win2k hang on reboot and pc not shutting down

I installed a Radeon 9000 PCI as a secordary card to an GForce MX 460 AGP.

It seems to work, but the computer hangs after a reboot. No Bios messages are displayed. A hard reset doesn't do anything either. I have to competely power off, wait a few seconds an only then the machine would boot correctly.

The other thing it, that the machine would not power off itself anymore, since there is the second card.

Before the radeon a used an old rage pro, the machine rebooted correctly but wouldn't shutdown either.

Beside these two problems, everything works nearly perfectly - no freezes, opengl on both monitors, etc.

OS:Windows 2000
AGP: Nvidia MX460
PCI: Radeon 9000

thanks for any help

I'm still fumbling with Win2K to make it do what I want (recently migrated from Win98SE). Take a peek at this:

http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/251/

The site has a lot of goodies you can try (that is, if you're comfortable working with your registry settings). Be careful, work slowly, make only one change at a time -- you should be fine.
