Hello,

I will be troubleshooting a non working Hydro Thunder for a customer and wanted to know what video card people have successfully used to test booting sequence on an external VGA monitor? It seems its common for these games to lose their BIOs settings when the onboard battery dies (CMOS). From my reading you can't boot with the onboard video card as its strictly 3-D and doesn't have the ability to show letters. Which is why people remove the 3-D video card and install a 2-D card. This is all new to me and I'm not a computer guy. Any information is helpful.

Currently game does not boot, monitor works, seems like the CPU is constantly resetting as the screen and cockpit lights flash on then off. Can't access test menu or start a game.

Thanks
Blake
