When logged in remotely check System Preferences / Display and see what video mode it's trying to display in (width x heighth and vert sync speed). It's possible it is not one the monitor can display. Try changing it to something you know the monitor can handle. Also check your PRAM battery, it may be dead or dying. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
