Ok, so I was mucking about in the control panel of windows settings, playing with the resolution on my monitor to see whether I could get a sharper picture. but after a little bit of fiddling, the CRT lost it. It first made a quiet but really high pitched EEEEE noise, then the picture went bananas. anyone who has enough expertise to answer my query will know what a CRT going nuts looks like. (There was not a horizontal line or a dot-in-the-middle at any point by the way). I then pressed the power button on the tower running the monitor. My only clue that I was shutting down was the "bling" shutdown noise from the speakers. I then rebooted the machine, and instead on the BIOS, I received a disjointed image of it for a split-second, then it cut to black. I then gave up on it as broken, after several reptitions of this. I unplugged it, then went to bed. The next morning, I turned it on, The BIOS screen was nowhere to be seen, and wasn't displayed. I waited, and then the Windows logon screen appeared like there had been no problem. I rebooted the computer, same thing. The monitor refused to display the BIOS, but displays Windows fine. The only thing that is different is their resolutions. How is this a problem? Is it repaireable? Or is it on the the brink of death? Oh, and while it was warming up, every 10 seconds, it would produce a ZZIT noise and the image would jerk, but that stopped after a while
