Hello all.
I was recently built 2 mates pc's - each one using the odd salvaged bit from their old machines (CD roms etc). There was enough bits left over on their old pc's to make another machine which my friend wants for his mother to replace their old Compaq. I have built the machine and stumbled across a problem - when I boot the machine, the colours on the monitor are all wrong. For example the writing whilst posting which should be white is a kinda dull pink colour and the energy saving logo in the top right corner is red not green with a yellow border. Even when Windows boots up the blue and red are almost flourescent??
Now we aint talking a new machine here, bloody far from it in fact. It's an old Pentium 2 333MHz on a Gigabyte mobo, 256meg SDRAM, ATi Rage Pro Turbo graphics card and a 4 gig hard drive. Please stop laughing, if ya think this is bad ya wanna see their old Compaq
.
I formatted the drive freshly installed Windows when I started. I've tried swapping the RAM, graphics card and even tried changing mobo and starting again but no joy - each time the colours are well messed up. I tried the monitor he gave me on my pc and it works fine.
I'm totally stumped on this one now - I don't think it could be a driver problem coz when I rebuild my pc and have nothing on but Windows itself all colours are fine. I know both the old pc's I built this one from ran ok before they were stripped.
Any ideas anyone?
