Ok so I go to switch on my pc and the screen goes all multi coloured blocks like a nightmare from the DTE editor. Windows seems to be working ok as I can hear the welcome jingle on start up. Anyway I jiggle the cable and check the connections still no joy. Thinking that my monitor is broke I'm not best pleased as I only replaced it a couple of months ago after our old cat decided to use it as a litter tray. Perhaps he's commenting on my Bryce work in some way.
Luckily this is not the case as I have an xbox that also connects to the screen and this worked fine and visions of launching the cat through the open window subsided. I changed the monitor cable to see if this had any effect, and for about 10 minutes it did. Then the monior just went all weird again and the computer actually shut itself down. So I've tried restarting several times. Occasionally I will get to see my desktop other times nothing but the multi coloured blocks. Even in safe mode I get the same. Any ideas?
