Monitor prob: Off mode in 5 seconds..

Post by Mehmet »

hey guys, sup?

a friend of mine moved his computer downstairs to another room theyve got..

heres the problem, after they moved it, whenever they opened up the comp, the screen would just go into standby, saying off mode in 5 seconds.. I thought it was the vid card, and i brought it over to my house and tried it.. it worked perfectly.... I tried resetting the bios.. and nothing happened..

specs:
MSI K7t266 pro 2-ru.
athlon xp 1800
Visiontek Geforce 3 ti500..
512 megs of ram..


So whats up with it you guys? is it a faulty monitor?? (it was working perfectly before..)

Can you get into windows? If you can, go into power options and check the monitor settings. Could be in standby mode. Disable it.

If you can't get into windows what that monitor, see if you can use a different monitor.
