Sorry for another thread about my LCD, this should be my last one. I notice that as I boot, I can't see anything until i come to the Windows XP screen. Is this normal? Also is there a solution or a go-around to this?

I see mine, maybe it's the boot sequence your BIOS is using, not enabling your AGP slot until after say... the ram or hd check?

Hobo

never had this problem and i spent a lot of time looking at teh bios

Does every screen show at the very beggening?

NiteQwill

On my computer yes. As soon as I press power, my ASUS BIOS check screen pops up.

You guys using Analog or Digital?

Hobo

mine worked with both..

SeCsTaC

Hobo, do you see everything right from the start? or do you need to press the bios button (F1, F2, DEL) etc and then you can see BIOS. I mean the boot up screens etc right before the Windows screen

Hobo

i see it right off the bat

rawr... what lcd are you using?

NOVAwhiteTypeS

some bios's wont show you the console connections when you have a digital connection OR if the lcd doesn't display @ 640X480.

^^^ Yup, thats correct - I had this problem...I gjust kept rebooting and trying different keys until I figured out which one got me into the bios....try SHIFT, F8, and all the other function keyts...eventually you will get it

Its usually F1 F2 etc so I should just try those until a screen actually appears? My LCD doesn't display anything until it gets to the Windows XP loading screen.

worked for me, immediately after startup...obviously if you see the windows splash screen, you didnt hit the right key

Does your computer have an onboard video card and one that you added? If so, plug the monitor into the onboard card. I doubt this is the issue....

My PC is 4 years old, it has onboard video, and no i dont have an add in card. blah I'll try it again and if it doesn't work I'll just email samsung
