724410 2008-11-30 22:25:00 My computer is running properly and at normal speed once it gets going.

BUT it's very slow booting and shutting down.
And when I hit restart the thing reboots alright but the monitor does not work. Just a dumb blank screen

Same thing happens if I try to boot in safe mode. No monitor

Same thing if I hit "default" to get into bios setup. JUdging by sounds it goes in, but shows nothing.

When I start for a normal bootup I do not see the Post information. The screen does not come on until booting has finished. The first thing I see is the windows "welcome" screen

If I try to run a chkdsk scan it all happens with no monitor.

MY boot.ini file looks OK.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut


AND if I put my WIN XP pro disk in the player It does nothing. It is recognised as being there but will not run. I was going to try a start/repair.
The PCW dvd starts and runs properly.. Even from a cold start it will not run.

Does anyone have any ideas. I thought of a re-install of XP but that doesn't want to work.

724411 2008-11-30 22:34:00 Sounds like the prob I had a few weeks ago

Turn the computer on (the led on the monitor stays on, you see the post screen), but you couldnt see anything after (the desktop) until 7-8 resets.

After changing the mobo 4-5 times, (this mth), the monitor was the prob lol

But I didnt have the slow booting or slow shutdown prob

However, now I fix the problem by turning the LCD off, then on...
