Start up problem, grey screen??

Windows Vista38
Hey group, i have a AMD5000x2 with an ATI 1300pro video card and dell 22"

widescreen display hooked up to the digital output. Running Vista HP. My

problem is half the time i boot up the screen flashes 2 alternating frames

of grey. I can even hear the audio that vista plays after a succesful boot,

but the screen doesn't respond. Sometimes i have to reboot more than once to

get a normal startup. I wonder if its the digital output from the video

card. Should i go back to analog? Anyone ever heard of this with Dell units

like the E521 that i have? Thanks for your help, Skyman

Go to your OEM's or video card manufacturer's website and get the latest

driver.

Yeah updating the driver was the first thing i tried. Vista even located and

installed it for me automatically. Do you think i should look manuallly for

a newere version?
