Keeps going in standby

BloodWolf · 28 Jan 2007 at 22:15

Since my Belinea 22" is broke, in need of replacement I got a Sony Trinitron Multiscan E250 17" for a replacement till I get my other one back.

It works upto Windows XP logo then when it logs into windows it goes on standby :S

so i tried formatting, it worked till i installed graphic drivers and it did it again

i can only assume windows is putting it into a res it cannot use so monitors going on standby?

need help :/

seems odd. can you boot into windows in safe mode and set a resolutions that way?

i can boot into safe mode but dunno how to change the res for when I start up normally. :confused:

whatever resolution you set in the display panel will be what it boots up with on the next normal boot. if its still doing it it could be a problem with the card? im not sure what else it could be tbh.

other monitor was fine though

it says this 17" monitor can go up to 1920x1440
weird.
