The deal with the monitor is that, it works on the 2 other computer I have. And that this "out of sync" problem is why the computer was brought to me in the first place. It was/has been working fine, then all of a sudden, "out of sync" problems and now, I can't get it to boot. Just wondering if there was any other things I could test?
There shouldn't be any "out of sync" problems when just showing the BIOS? BB On 1/10/07, michael dolan <michaeldolan at gmail.com> wrote: > > Yup, sounds like a bad monitor.
