Computer reboots but the screen does not switch on. The computer makes the usual chkdsk noises and after a couple of minutes the monitor comes on and I am in windows. Also a program called FSINN will not show it's control panel on screen, even though it loads OK. I can get it on screan by starting it from within file manager. I think the reason for this is because I have removed my No 1 monitor for repairs. I am currently using No2 monitor only. NVidia control panel has reverted to single monitor mode so I have no options there.. I suspect the positions are recorded in registry but haven't found them. I am not overly worried about fixing this as I will have my other monitor back shortly. I would just like to know how to. Thanks	JJJJJ (528)

I did answer this, but for some reason it did not appear.Sory about that. I did as you suggested but made no difference. Strange that both you and Speedy both mention monitor. This problem only arose after I removed one monitor. But not immediately after. It didn't appear for a couple of days. My video card ,a 9800 GX2, has two VDI connectors so it shouldn't matter how they are connected. I have removed both Viewsonic drivers and am running on default windows driver. Another strange occurance that happened twice last week. The computer was just loading windows when I got a white flash on the screan and then nothing. Reboot was normal. The first time this happened it also altered my bios settings. The settings were changed to default. I noticed this immediately because the ASUS splash screen appeared on reboot. I have inspected the internals and everything is connected and secure I paid special attention to the vid card , but it is secure and the clamps are locked. On one occasion my mouse, keyboard and joystick all stopped working. I removed all usb connections and gave them a good talking to. Then put them back and they worked The annoying thing is that I don't get same problems all the time. They come and go. Anyway with a bit of luck my other monitor should be back tomorrow and will see if that fixes everything. Only taken Viewsonic 10 days to replace the back light. BTW I have the Machine overclocked from 3.0 to 3.3. This has been fine for six months so I don't think this has anything to do with it	JJJJJ (528)
724083	2008-12-01 02:14:00	Hmm. I'd be suspicious of the motherboard.........BIOS resetting, USB devices ceasing to work, etc.............	pctek (84)
724084	2008-12-01 02:24:00	Hmm. I'd be suspicious of the motherboard.........BIOS resetting, USB devices ceasing to work, etc............. An $898.43 motherboard. Now you have got me worried. At least it's still under warranty. Is there any quick easy check to verify m/b ?	JJJJJ (528)
724085	2008-12-01 07:05:00	take it apart, no its obviously broken. but now, there is no warranty	pcuser7895 (12979)

724087	2008-12-01 21:29:00	All Fixed. With No 1 monitor returned and running, everything has come right. For some reason it doesn't like just one monitor. I wonder what next problem is going to be Thanks to all helpers.	JJJJJ (528)
724088	2008-12-02 08:44:00	All Fixed. With No 1 monitor returned and running, everything has come right. For some reason it doesn't like just one monitor. . Bizarre. How does that affect all those things?	pctek (84)
724089	2008-12-02 09:05:00	Bizarre. How does that affect all those things? G O K's. But it's had a good workout today and it's running like a dream	JJJJJ (528)
