Computer probs
on: April 06, 2006, 08:14:59 AM
Yesterday was like any other day, everything fine. On the evening i reboot the computer as i re-installed some hardware (USB) and when we got to the bios screen it was yellow writing. Rebooted a couple of times at it was still yellow. infact everything has a yellow tinge till the drivers are loaded.
Worse still, today everything is red. WTF is going on?? Anybody had this before??

I had things turn yellow but it was the monitor, rapping the monitor made it go back to normal :)

All seems to be well again now though. Booted several times and all is fine.

If it comes back... maybe your monitor cable is on its way out... or dvi dongle if you use one...
