Try removing the video card, and look up your motherboard / system manual on dell's website on how to manually reset the bios.

1. Remove video card
2. Reset BIOS (physically opening the computer and using a special jumper and/or removing the battery...what ever the manufacturer says to do to reset the BIOS).
3. After BIOS is reset, try booting up via your onboard video card first. Once you get that working, go into the bios settings and make sure it is set to boot the onboard only for right now and then you can make sure the ATI software is fully uninstalled when you get into windows.
4. Reinstall the ATI card and boot up with the video still connected to the onboard card. See if it will let you install the driver.

The trick here is to reset the bios and get the system booting off the onboard card if at all possible. If that works, then you can always reinstall drivers and then tweak the bios to boot off the AGP card instead of the onboard.

Had same problem -- changed motherboard and fan on video card -- for this laptop problem occurred twice about a year about -- suspect fan on video card was causing overheat

OK WELL DID YOU UNPLUG IT FOR A LIL WHILE? IF NOT DO SO. IF PROBLEM STILL THERE HOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT CPU AFTER ALL IS DONE HIT ME BACK

FIRST OF ALL TELL ME WHAT KIND OF TV IT IS

Try swapping the monitor cable from the working monitor to the other video connection on your computer. Effectively reversing the connections to isolate whether your problem is the video card in your computer or the monitor itself. If you find the working monitor displaying similar symptoms, then check your video drivers and ensure that you have all power saving features, screen savers, etc... turned off.

Do you see initial words / logo on the screen upon powerup?

Change the monitor and check if the PC works. If it works then the problem is with the monitor, you will have to send it to repair. If not then, the problem should be with the power supply, check whether all the cables is kept intact.

the manual is available from this link.
it will contain diagrams of where to put the cables.

First, the terms "cheap" and "panel" don't go together. The display is the most expensive part of an LCD monitor, and when it breaks you're best off not even thinking about buying a replacement. With the cost of new monitors dropping (19-inch models as low as $125 online), you can't hope to resell one without losing money if you buy a replacement panel.

Second, you would need to know that any panel you did find would work properly. All LCD panels are not the same, and you would need one compatible with the monitor's driving electronics and connecting cables. This complicates finding generic replacements.

If you want to sell the monitors, you might consider contacting a company such as blueraven.com or shopjimmy.com that is in business to buy this kind of equipment, dismantle it and resell the working parts. Or you could try eBay. There may be people offering similar models with good displays, or you could sell yours. But you will ultimately lose money if you try to repair these by purchasing parts.

Use the "F-8" key at boot to get into safe mode. You should then be able to fix the resolution/refresh rate conflict while in safe mode, and get back to normal.

Try Disconnecting The Hard Drives Then Powering On To See If That Works.

Hello David,

This is very common problem and is heat/age related, but It can happen to monitors that are no more than a year old. It is usually bad capacitors on on power inverter board. I just fixed two monitors with this problem. This problem is common across all brands. Look for several radial capacitors in a cluster on the power inverter board. If some are bulging or have a slightly domed top, they are the ones that are bad. I usually replace all the capacitors in this small cluster because some may be marginal. This is easy to do if you have a bit of electronics skill.

If you're referring to the Windows Start menu, grab it with your mouse, hold down the button, and drag it back to the bottom. If you're referring to a different menu, please clarify with a comment.

Thanks,
Connie :)

Go through your BIOS setup and choose 'Factory Defaults'  This will set the initial video to a low standard that will at least allow about any monitor to come on.
The second system may just happen to be feeding your monitor what it wants to see.

I start my computer and turn it on, and everything looks fine for about 1/4 of a second and then it goes black while leaving the power light green. I can only see the screen again after turning it off and on, but that's only for another 1/4 second. What's up?
I got my rosewill flatscreen as a hand me down from my father. I've had it for several years now. Was working fine until a month ago. When I turn the computer on the screen goes black after 1/4 of a saecond. I have to turn it off and on anywhere from 10 to 20 times before it stays on. I have checked all plugs to the computer and outlets. I have absolutely no idea whats causing this.

About the CPU, replace the cooling fan, if it goes off always after same time, then is overheating.

About the virus, read the following:


If the antivirus is not enough use an antimalaware that removes more viruses use this one: Spybot - Search & Destroy - Free software download , install, update, and perform a full system scan.

If that is still not enough, the best thing to do is doing a backup of your files, and reinstalling Windows.

I would say the rom is going out .
and may be fixed by re-seating it.
it takes a tool though to get it out without cracking the socket.

it should look like this one on the right

It sounds like the internal bulb in your monitor is going out. Some LCD monitors go through a slight warm-up period but it should not be 5-10 minutes. You may want to change your Power Saving settings to prevent from going into standby. Here's how:

Right-click in an open space on your desktop
Choose Properties
Click the Screen Saver tab
Down at the bottom look for the Power settings
Change the Monitor Standby to NEVER
Click OK

Good luck!!

According to the manufacturer, you have two plugs available for video. Either will work fine. The first is the traditional RGB plug. It contains 3 rows of 5 pins, and typically is blue in color. The second (and better IMHO) connection method is the DVI cables that many LCD's now come with. However, you will need to have a DVI connection on whatever you're plugging this monitor into. The plug is much wider than a traditional RGB plug. You monitor will specifically use the DVI-D (DVI-Digital) plug as seen at monoprice.com (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10209&cs_id=1020901&p_id=2685&seq=1&format=1#largeimage).
