HI ,
I have a KDS flat screen monitor and a Dell 4600 and lately I ve been having a weird problem on startup...
It started with having some lines across the screen but this last time, after the computer was shut off for a week ( holidays ) , on start up, the monitor was covered with vertical and horizontal lines.. It looked like a piece of woven fabric... After a few minutes, some of the vertical lines started to disappear, then the horizontal lines started to disappear from the top down... Then screen was completely black .. and after a minute or so, I could see a faint display of light from both bottom corners... ( Like someone shining a flashlight ) ... then , slowly , I could start to read some writing at the top of the screen ( I had forgotten and left a floppy in the PC on startup and it was the " hit any key " error message... It was like the lettering slowly started to fill in ) .... Once the message came in clear ,I removed the floppy , pushed a key and the monitor came on just like normal....and is working perfectly ...
This weird line thing ( Not as many lines as this time and not taking as long to resolve itself in the past ) has happened in the past a few times but only when the computer is completely shut down... If i just reboot, it doesnt happen...
Any ideas?
