Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I have a dell xps 8100 desktop that i bought back in 2010. Its an i5 quad core desktop. I haven't used it for some time and took it out few days ago to use it again. It didn't have any issues at first. However recently i was using it and connect it always to my 2007 dell fp monitor.
There was a driver error message in the bottom but then said its been recovered. I seen this quite a bit happen with my laptop and desktop. Next thing you know, my chrome web pages, lot of the words/letters/pictures are distorted. Im sure you guys know what i mean by this? I had this issue happen many times but each time i either would restart computer or maybe close all the chrome windows then open okay and no issue.
Closing chrome and reopening didn't work. Same distortions. I then restarted the desktop by start and restart when i did this, i don't see anything showing up on my monitor. I then decide to reset again by holding power button and resetting... i know this is not good idea as oppose to click start and reset but i can't do that due to nothing showing on the screen. Same issue, computer restarts but nothing on monitor. I then wondered could it been my monitor that was the issue... it isn't b/c i connected laptop to it and connected a vga cable to it and monitor works.
How do i fix this issue with my desktop since nothing shows up on my monitor when i click the power button. The power button works and it starts up, but nothing shows on the screen. I'm pretty sure this had to do with the problem earlier with the driver and the distorted letter/picture etc.
How do i fix this if theres nothing show up?
