speedz Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 My retarded friend went on my computer and lauched Freedom Force. He then set the graphics under options to 1152 by 865 in 32 bits. The computer froze. And now when i turn it back on, the screen is all fubar, everything is moving around and i can't anything when it's in the bios. And when windows is done loading, the screen goes blank and turns itself off.HELP! PLZ!
speedz Posted December 19, 2002 Author Posted December 19, 2002 P.S. I'm using win XP pro. Settings under a game shouldn;t affect everything should it?
gamehead200 Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Do exactly what I told you...Restart your computer, start slamming on the F8 key, select "Last Good Configuration" and you should be fine...If that doesn't work, do a system restore. Hope this helps!
speedz Posted December 19, 2002 Author Posted December 19, 2002 Tried that. Problem starts as soon as bios loads. Even when i load safe mode, it looks like the screens from the matrix.If the prob starts in the bios... wouldn't that meen my mobo is fubar?Maybe this is a good excuse for my parents to finally buy a new pc...Edit: Safe mode doesn't work. Can't boot at all.
gamehead200 Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Hmmmmm................................................Open up your computer and see if your graphics card is plugged in properly?
gamehead200 Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Uuummmmm...................I can't think of anything else, so get yourself a new computer for Christmas....
speedz Posted December 19, 2002 Author Posted December 19, 2002 That reassuring...Maybe I'll get that athlon 2700+ w/ a nforce2 board that i always wanted...
ThA_FiLeR Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 lmao, dont listen to gamehead,Do this:When your computer starts hit F8 a bunch of times till the menu comes up, then hit safe modus, and your graphics will be very low since it doesnt load your gfx drivers.. Then go and change resolution when u done with that, reboot!Hope this helps No unnessary flaming mate(Mod)
gamehead200 Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Tha_filer, he said the problem starts as soon as he starts his computer, and BTW, I told him to go into safe mode when I was talking to him on MSN...
MSNwar Posted December 19, 2002 Posted December 19, 2002 Tried that. Problem starts as soon as bios loads. Even when i load safe mode, it looks like the screens from the matrix.If the prob starts in the bios... wouldn't that meen my mobo is fubar?Maybe this is a good excuse for my parents to finally buy a new pc...Edit: Safe mode doesn't work. Can't boot at all.Can't boot at all? Let me get this right because I am confused. When you boot the PC the screen is immediately w*****s? Or right before windows loads the screen goes w*****s? Try this cause it will not hurt. Turn the PC off and turn it back on again. Completely off and wait about 10 seconds before turning it back on again okay. The first thing you should see is the Video card information displayed across the top of the screen. It comes up quick so look for it closely. Then wait to see if it boots normally. If not repeat the process and after the Video Card info disapears start hitting the key to enter the BIOS. In the BIOS, look for a "Safe Mode" setting. Change the BIOS to "Safe Mode" and save and exit. Get back to us okay.
speedz Posted December 19, 2002 Author Posted December 19, 2002 My monitor goes w*****s as soon as it boots. Before even checking for drives. Then after awhile, the monitor just turns off.Think my monitor is fubar? It's only a year old. Edit: I left it off for a couple of hours. AFter a while the screen goes pixelated purple and a green blob is my pointer. So that must mean that windows is atleast partially loaded.And also, my monitor does work fine w/ 1152 by 8xx resolution on the desktop...
speedz Posted December 19, 2002 Author Posted December 19, 2002 I tried booting in same mode by pressing F8 like mad....Doesn't really work.The screen is unviewable right from the moment the machine starts to boot.
ThA_FiLeR Posted December 20, 2002 Posted December 20, 2002 Hmm, so the dos part doesnt even show right? like the part where it lists all your harddrives and cdroms
speedz Posted December 20, 2002 Author Posted December 20, 2002 Yeah. Goes beserk before checking drives... Guess it must either be my mobo or monitor that's F***ed up.
