I'm having a problem with my MSI GeForce2 Pro 64MB DDR. I installed a new power supply this afternoon and while my system was booting up for the first time I was reorganizing some of the wires. Well I caught my fingernail on the CPU fan and bumped it pretty good. My system locked up and I had to reboot. This time it booted fine and came up with the Win2k login, I logged in but as it was loading stuff (stuff in the tray etc) the screen went all garbled and displayed random colors. I rebooted again and it keeps doing that. I also have Win98 on my system so I booted into that and everything works fine. So I figured maybe it was a problem with an AGP driver I installed last night. I tried to switch to the old driver and that didn't work out and Win2k wouldn' t boot at all anymore. So I figured at this point why not just reinstall Win2k. So I did just that and everything appeared to be fine even after I installed the the videocard drivers and rebooted. Then I installed Motherboard Monitor 5 and rebooted again. This time after I logged in the screen went all garbled again. I uninstalled MBM just incase that was screwing it up but it still doesn't work. I've installed my old Voodoo3 and Win2k will work fine with it.
I have no idea what to do now, any ideas?
Sorry this post is such a long read but I figured the more details the better. My thoughts are it's a hardware problem related to either the motherboard, videocard or PSU. I'd really really appreciate any help you guys can give me
