A strange kind of lock-up...
Thursday, May 29, 2003 by CerebroJD | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Sometimes when I leave my computer for a few minutes, when I come back the monitor is completely black except for a blue and green dotted line along the top. I dont know what causes this. I have no screensave applied, no standby, no hibernation. All the computer is set to do is turn off the monitor. And then whae I wake it up, the monitor turns on and I see the screen I described above. I am running ME with 128mb sdram with a 32mb NiVidia Geforce4 graphics card. Any hep on the issue is welcome if you have it. Thanks in advance.

When I had ME and it did that, I had to shut it off and restart to get it to work. I hated ME.

In your Bios make sure 'Power Management' is enabled, scroll down to monitor off settings and change to 'Vert+Syn+Blank' (the wording differs from bios to bios, but look for 'Blank'). Do not set any times. Save and exit. That should fix it
