nope...no deal, neither of the codes worked....still the same thing. I am about ready to say !@#!@# Knoppix, this is really aggravating, especially since it worked fine with the stock defective power supply, and I have not updated the Video BIOS or anything since. Clearly my video card itself isn't damaged, as everything works absolutely fine in Windows XP. I even went into the BIOS and disabled the power options...I really don't know what's left, clearly, command line options aren't going to do diddly, and I know the CD is fine, as it works fine in another computer. Thanks for the help.
