Haha,1024*768 at 17" & 19" seems like not really nice.

LOL.. But for the ease of viewing all the eye candies.. This is a need.

hi to all P4 user....
currently i'm using P4 478 as well....
but da mobo start to show some kinda problem on reboot.......
it will turned into blank display every time restart or even shut down and on it again,but da hardware is running on background...
any idea wat most of the causes?
coz i checked every hardware on da rig...but they seems workin fine......

Mobo faulty? Do you try to reset the bios on the mobo?

u mean clear CMOS by using jumper on mobo?
if that 1, yeap....tried...still same thing occured....
btw, i'm using this model MSI MS-6585

Well.... i'll say that's GC problem. Cos i used to flash BIOS on my gc, if anything goes wrong. Blank screen is what i get

Yeap,i meant that. Between,do you flash your GC like ac_n1 said?

nope....i didn't flash GC bios at all.....
i mean mobo bios.......
can it be flash?

Either mobo bios or GC bios can flash as long as u have the correct step to make it. Btw, Klemann C did u problem happen often or just once awhile? When do u start to have get this strange behavior?

May i know what GC are u using? If u r using analog cable, try switch ti DVI

this behaviour juz start recently.....
lets say can reflash mobo bios with exactly same version with current bios version?

i'm using Ati Radeon 9200SE AGP 128MB 64Bit 8X
using VGA cable connect to my CRT monitor..
btw, i dun have DVI cable nor adapter..... but i dun think thats da main causes.....

Usually mobo bios only allow upgrade but not downgrade. But flash with exact same version i have never try before. Afraid cannot give u a exact answer. But anyways, what had u done before all these happened?

ic.....b4 this i was prompt to MSI official sites to check out whether does this mobo bios newer version....
since i doesn't have....so i nvr do anything on it.....

I guess flashing the same version of bios should be able to be done as long as you are flashing the correct bios for the mobo. We are not allow to downgrade bios? I have no idea about this.

I guess your system must be some hardware failure on it. Eliminate bios from mobo and GC,could HDD be another suspect of culprit?I remember last year my HDD failed and it gave me blank screen on it too after a few times of blue screen.

@ray
Usually we are using the bios flashing utilities / tools to do upgrade right? If I'm not mistaken the utilities / tools are not allow bios downgrading. That where my assumption come from.

But flash back with the same version, that i ain't sure about it as never try before. Usually only upgrade and never downgrade before.

@Klemann C
Whats the last time u did before ur system comes out with this weird condition?

@fylon,i'm not sure with the tool can downgrade the bios version or not.Haha,usually ppl won't downgrade to older version of bios after flashing the newer one.

@ray
AFAIK, the tools will perform certain type of check sum of the bios on the mobo and the one that ur going to flash with. If the bios revision of the one that ur going to flash into the mobo is lower then the one on mobo CMOS, usually user will unable to flash it.

And also, not all new bios are working fine. There are some issues where new bios are causing problems and make user downgrade back to older revision.

Yup,i agree with you. But not sure how is the tool going to work with the bios checksum.Haha,guess this one should pass to some experts here to share with us.
