Odd, that you were able to re-install WinMe without any 'apparent' video
signal/monitor issues during the installation.

Possibly a failing PSU - may not be able to handle the extra power
requirement of the wireless card (and symptoms are not un-typical of a
failing PSU.) Try substituting/replacing with a higher power PSU.

I recently installed a wireless card in my IBM Netvista (2271) PC all went
well. About ten days latter the machine starts up but no signal to the
monitor. After about an hour or so the system appears to have re-booted
and the monitor comes into life?

So I took out the wireless card and reinstalled (clean) windows ME. The
symptoms are the same?

Do you think this is the graphics card or could I have a bigger problem?
