On a cold boot I receive multiple beeps, the led on monitor changes to yellow, "no video signal" message appears on monitor, but I can hear the HD continue through the boot process. If I wait long enough for Windows to load, even though the screen is still blank, I can use keyboard to reboot computer and on reboot the monitor works fine. With cold boots, if I repeat enough times it eventually boots ok. This is an older home brew computer.
Specifics: gateway msi 6330 MB; Athlon xp 1100; 512 mb pc133; Radeon 9200 se; HP 190?2 flat panel monitor using digital cable and connectors; On board sound; no onboard video; PCI usb2; pci ethernet.
It works fine after a sucessful boot and on all rebots but is a pain first thing in the morning before my coffee. I've tried reseating the agp card several times, and reconnecting the cables, It is one of my daughter's computer and I'm supposed to be the guru. Ha!
Any suggestions appreciated.
