When I turn my 'puter on in the mornings, the moniter flashes green, blurm red and yellow lines.
I have removed the D-SUB cable from the graphics port and plugged it back inand its still like tht, I had to plug in a *shivers* 14" 640x480x16 moniter... asnd it worked... I plugged my LCD moniter back in and its fine atm
