Black Screen Blinking Cursor on Startup with ATI Mach32 or Mach64 and

--------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

When the system restarts after the first phase of installation on a 
system with an ATI Mach32 or Mach64 video adapter, the system stops at 
a black screen with a blinking cursor. 
The problem is that the VGA (640x480) driver is attempting to 
initialize at 60 Hz. If the adapter mode for 640x480 is set to a 
refresh rate other than 60 Hz, the video will not be able to startup, 
and the system will hang on startup with a black screen and a blinking 
cursor in the upper left-hand corner. 

RESOLUTION

Use the video adapter DOS utilities that come with the adapter to set 
the 640x480 mode to a 60 Hz refresh rate.

These utilities can also be obtained from ATI's World Wide Web site at 
http://www.atitech.ca or from their BBS at (905) 764-9404. For 
assistance on running the utilities, contact ATI Technical Support at 
(905) 882-2626.
