| 67179 | 2002-08-01 00:37:00 | I have a new pc from farmers,made by the pc company.Its a AMD 2100xp with Gefoce 4 Ti4200 128ram, 19" monitor,512 ddram,MSI K3 ultra,60 GB hard driver. The thing is when you restart the computer the monitor does not come back on,the light on the monitor stays on (Green) but the screen is black.... That do you think????? |

| 67183 | 2002-08-01 01:19:00 | assumeing you have windows XP i would guess that its either a bug in XP (service pack 1 is due to be released shortly) (i do take you have done your windows updates?) or a setup problem. the last pccomp i looked at had a fairly customised setup, mayby they missed something. sorry i'm not really a pro on winXP. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 67184 | 2002-08-01 01:59:00 | Its all in the timing of events, it has occurred under windows 95,98,ME as well. No reason XP should be different? The monitor goes into standby mode at (almost) the same instant the computer restarts and the monitor misses the restart signal. Its really no biggie, I just powered off the monitor and powered it back on again after a few seconds, and everyone was happy. Its the characteristics of the devices conflicting, not an actual fault. |

| 67186 | 2002-08-01 03:12:00 | Then take it back, try a different brand of monitor. Something in the monitor is going into standby, or it would not respond to power off and on. Perhaps the video amplifiers shutdown ahead of the EHT, and you are caught in that gap. | godfather (25) | ||
