my computer with a pentium 4 processer and windows xp displays the your moniter is working check your PC and cables message on the moniter message. i checked the cable and TRIED an new moniter and the problem did not go away. then i purchased and installed a invidia geforce 4 to replace my geforce 2 video card. i installed the card and the message is still there.
any help would be appreciated.Do you have virus protection? Also, have you made any other changes to your system PRIOR to this incident?

[glb]Flame[/glb]prior to this the computer was not working (im FAIRLY sure it had a virus bc the computer would get to the login screen and when i selected an account the computer would start loading the account then it would freeze and i could no longer move the mouse) so i formatted my drive and reinstalled xp WICH i had some troubkle with and it took a while to finaly get it to install. then when i finnally had it installed it told me to restart the pc and i did but when it started up it had the message on the moniter.It sounds like either a virus, or your hard disk is going dead... Do you have protection?

[glb]Flame[/glb]i havnt been able to start up the computer bc of the video issue since i formatted the drive. could there still be a virus and what would i do about the harddisk
