Pc problem can anyone help?
 

Hi all a friend of mine his moniter stoped working so he got a new one but i think it is fairly old.

The wierd thing is when he loads windows it gets to the splash screen and then the moniter goes into amber light (standby - no feed mode) but in windows safe mode it will work fine is there anyway to get it working in normal mode?

thanks

Its probably set to a resolution or refresh rate his new monitor can't handle... or has bad drivers installed.

Bad drivers...

What drivers will i need? thanks

Its wierd it loads in safe mode.

How can i change the resolution and refresh rate for normal windows in safe mode?

as you do in normal mode usually, right mous on desktop/properties....

But dosent that load safe menu settings? not normal settings

It is probably his screen resolution and the older monitor won't handle that resolution. You can't change screen resolution in safemode I'm pretty sure.

sounds like he needs to install drivers lol

display settings can be changed in safe mode.
