Our CEO brought in a couple "clunker" PCs to use as AS/400 terminals. One of them had an ATI Rage 128 video card, which the Windows 98 image did not have drivers for. I downloaded the drivers and attempted to install them, when it gave me an error that it needed Direct-X 8 or later. So, I download and install Direct-X 8.1 and reboot. There's a quick blue screen when it goes to reboot and it hangs on restarting, so I hit the power button. When I went to bring it back up, the HP (Pavilion 7900 "Tortuga") splash screen was all that came up and it was "glitchy".
So, I powered down, pulled the video card and tried a different one. No luck. I even tried pulling the CMOS battery as I couldn't find a CMOS reset jumper. L Anyway, long story short. no way to even get into BIOS. Any suggestions?
