I have a PIII 800mhz ,128mb, 133mhz coppermine motherboard and an Eagle Geforce 2mx graphics card. On start up i have to press reset 3 or 4 times before it loads. Each failure consists of a blank screen at various points into the start up. I realise it is probably a display driver problem. How can i remedy this ?

It could be many things. Once you finally boot, does the machine run well? If you look under system devices, are there any devices that are in error? What about IRQs, are there any conflicts and is anything sharing an IRQ with your video card? Do you have the latest video drivers for your card?
If you only experience the problem when you are trying to boot, it may be a hardware related problem. Try reseating your memory and all the other cards. Also check cables for your hard and floppy drives. What may be happening is that something is making a poor connection and after a while, everything heats up a bit and expands and the connections are now made.
