Mines broke
It turns on fine but when it gets to the log in screen the monitor goes onto stand by. But if I type in my password it still logs on as I can hear the log on noise
Tried changing the resolution & refresh rate in "safe mode" but it wont let me
Even the refresh rate in safe modes screwed as it takes forever to refresh if I scroll anything
And to top it all off my sounds now not working, tried testing it in directx but its not detecting a sound card
So bloody annoying I could throw it out the window!
If it aint Manc its wank!

I have googled it! But thought they might be some I.T technician lurking on here somewhere
And it does start in safe mode as I said up there ^^^^
I also did a system restore but that didn't work either

I'd ask my old man but I know he's out. If you've had no luck by later on, I'll give hima quizzing for you.

Have you got access to another monitor you could try out on it?
Does your Pc have two seperate power leads , one for the base unit and one for the monitor?

"Sounds like her video is switching to a resolution that is unsupported by her monitor... Usually going into safe mode VGA - allows you to reset the resolution... but sometimes I've had to reload the video drivers from scratch to get to the default resolution. means uninstalling them first too if they used their own install program..."
Might be worth trying the roll back before you do an uninstall and reinstall.

I think your right fella, sounds Driver related to me.
There is this odd thing we get at work quite often whereby the users Pc just go to standby while they are working on them and the resolution and heres the mad bit is to switch power leads from the monitor to base unit and vice versa and this resolves the problem! It shouldnt work but it does and the nerds at HP cant tell us why this works but it does!
Crazy Pc's!
