Answer» PROBLEM: COMPUTER STARTS UP THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE SCREEN BECOMES DISTORTED LINES BLOCK ETC DIFFERENT COLORS AFTER I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING SOMETIMES ITS JUST A WHITE SCREEN WITH A SMALL BLACK SQUARE. Hi if anyone has some INSIGHT into this problem and knows what could possibly be the reason for this I would be so grateful. windows xp PROFFESSIONAL on Intel Pentium 4 CPU running at 2.2GHz LCD DISPLAY14.1" XGA TFT Active Matrix Color Displays - 1024x768 32-bit True Color, Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon M6-D 4X AGP w/16MB DDR dedicated video memory COULD THIS BE THE VIDEO CARD.? THANKS MUCH I Forgot to mention that it was a laptopLooks like either the video controller for the display is going south or the cable from the MB to the display has begun taking a powder. Does it do this if the AC adapter is plugged in? If it runs normal with the adapter in, try a fresh battery, you could be dealing with low voltage from a dead cell.
