Well thats not the problem..

"This commonly happens upon start-up right after the Windows logo appears. This is most likely NOT due to the computer monitor itself. You can check for that, though, by swapping the monitor and attempting to start up the Windows XP computer. If the same thing happens, than you have just proved that theory wrong."

i dont see any windows icons or anything its almost as if i dont have a chord going from my monitor to the gfx card... i'm now to believe its a block board.. either mobo or gfx card :-/

anything else?
