Re: LCD monitor went haywire
I ran SeaTools for DOS' Long test twice. Passed both times.
I am wondering. Since the Blue Screen happened when I tried to run the Backup software to the external [USB] drive; is there a free diagnostic software that I can use to test that external drive?...Leave a comment:

Re: LCD monitor went haywire
Interesting that it is sort of a catch all error. I will run a diagnostic on my HD....Leave a comment:

Re: LCD monitor went haywire
I have 2 copies of fastfat.sys on my PC; I scan them with Norton AV; and they are clean. The files size also conforms to one of the sizes listed as being real files.
I will run a full diagnostic on my HD....Leave a comment:

Re: LCD monitor went haywire
You are correct in the set up of my 2 computers.
In the last month or so, it happened twice. 1st time the screen went black shortly after the PC is powered on and I was away from my PC; and I couldn't "wake up" the screen. 2nd time, the screen "went haywire" at power on. Both times, when I power off my PC and turn it back on after 30 minutes, everything is fine. I don't know whether everything would be fine if I turn it back on after 30 seconds.
I think I have another VGA cable. But I guess there is no...Leave a comment:

Re: LCD monitor went haywire
I have a laptop that is connected to an external Smasung LCD 933bw; so I switch the 2 monitors -- by changing the connectors at the computer end (if it makes any difference). Both boot up fine. But since the problem is sporadic, does this prove anything?
I don't think this is related, but just in case....
After I switch back the LCDs to the original computers; I try to run a backup of my PC to a Seagate external HD -- with Seagate's BounceBack program. The PC crashed with that Blue screen while scanning the source drive....Leave a comment:

LCD monitor went haywire
AOC 22" LCD; and Dell Dimension 2400 running WinXP.
I turn on my PC this morning; and the LCD is unreadable -- the whole screen is full of snow; and there are darker wide vertical snowy lines. I can bare see the windows starting up. Everything was fine when I turn the PC off the night before. So, I power off the PC. 30 minutes later, I turn the PC back on, and the LCD is fine.
About 10 days ago, something similar happened. The PC power on fine. Then I walk away. An hour later, when I cam back, the LCD is black. I thought it went to sleep. So, I move my mouse...
