Another computer problem...

Post by Mattiethomas »

So my computer has been acting up in a weird way lately. When I turn it on, the monitor changes to that orangish color which means it isn't responding, and it keeps doing that everytime I turn off and on, off and on, and after a while it decides to respond and works. I have no clue what this means or whats causing it. I've replaced every part of my computer (not for this reason) except my hard drive, and case, and it made no diffrent anyway.

Also, if I turn the computer off from being on the day, it'll have the problem again if I try to turn it back on.

It could be pretty old, not sure, got it for free. But the last monitor I used had the problem too.

I've changed the videocard before but cant remember if it worked before I had it.

Sounds like the Monitor same shit happened to me now I'm stuck on a crapy 1024 x 768 mon. My advice is be looking for a replacement before it totally dies.
