Hey

I tried to different codes:

"failsafe" and "knoppix no agp"

Failsafe gets to the point of "ok, booting the kernel" then just hangs for ages.

Knoppix no agp does the exact same as before, screen goes blank and stays blank.

My monitor is just a standard 17" packard bell, supports 85hz refresh rate.
My graphics are nvidia gf4 ti4200 agp.

Really not too clued up at all on linux, i know my other pc next door would work. The only difference is has a graphics card in a pci slot and seperate sound card, whereas ive got onboard sound on this pc.

not sure if this helps any
