The screen stays black.
Only XP has ever been installed.
Bought a P4 from my Mother who felt guilty about never using it. When we put the system together for her, we chose a 40 gig HDD.
Our P3 has a 80 Gig HDD.
Our intentions were to swap the:
P3's - 80 Gig to the P4 for the adults (Kitchen)
P4's - 40 Gig to the P3 for my daughters bedroom.
and the P-M on the Notebook to roam freely
I swapped everything successfully, formatted and successfully installed Xp on both units.
Succcessfully set up the Linksys Wireless G Router in my Daughters room.
Set up and installed the wireless B/G PCI adapter in the kitchen.
All 3 have excellent signal strength, all started up with no problems. All on-line.
On the problem PC :
The original monitor was a 17", (which happened to turn PINK), so we had a couple of 15" monitors in the closet doing nothing until we buy a new monitor. I hooked up the 15" and the icons were huge, I changed the setting in the control panel's display and the colour bit setting. (don't remember to what exactly) The screen suddenly went all white, blue and green stripes.
I re-booted and the screen has been dark ever since. (Yesterday).
