We recently had a short power cut which has resulted in my monitor behaving quite oddly. Everything is fine until the computer has been inactive for a little while when instead of it going into sleep mode the screen starts flashing aternately between red, green white, yellow and then repeats itself..it's like sitting in the middle of a disco at night !! Any ideas ? ( sensible ones  ) |

Could be in factory mode. Have a look through the menu's for a factory mode option and switch off. Obviously this depends on the design but I've seen it before on Dells.

I've looked but will be buggered if i can find it quite often there are buttons just below your screen, one should give you a menu you need to scroll thru that, also if you have speakers close to your monitor move them they can distort and change the colour of the screen |
