The image on my computer monitor is sideways. You have to tilt your head to the left to see it right side up. I have been playing with the buttons on the monitor for 2 days, but nothing I do seems to correct the problem. Will someone help?

Beverley W asked:

I have one of those huge, old style Dell monitors. This big monitor is probably about 5 to 7 years old or so. I’ve never had any problems with it until last night, when my normal viewing image suddenly looked like it was stretched horizontally like a rubber band. Everything was “pulled” to the left and right (thus the image, desktop, etc. run about 1 inch off the screen on each side. The images, no matter if it’s the desktop, a photo, or something viewed on the internet, are all “stretched” horizontally and “flattened” vertically. After I shut down the computer and powered everything back up again, the image came up perfect again. No sign of the stretching. Then today I was on the computer and the image was fine one minute and then the next minute, the image became stretched out again. Any ideas what’s wrong and how to fix it? Is it the monitor? Or is something wrong with my PC itself? I’ve not added or done anything different to the PC or monitor. Help!!

I bought a custom built computer without OS and it just came throught the post. When i opened it both Ram modules had fallen out so i stuck them back in. But when i power up the computer the fans turn on and it seems to be running but it isnt sending a signal to my monitor. I’ve tried two different monitors, reset the CMOS memory and reinserted the VGA card but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions to what might be wrong? Thanks
I can hardly install the OS without a monitor. I was hoping to get the BIOS displayed but its not sending a signal at all.
I grounded myself by touching the case. When I first turned it on there was 3 beeps repeating, which made me realise the ram was out but the beeping stopped after i put them back in.

The ALL Knowing Troll asked:

Computer turned into yellowish!!! I checked the plug wires at the back of the monitor but it is ok I dunno about the wires that has been plug to cpu and it went back to its normal color after a while without beating up the monitor. Is it on computer settings or Internal problem?

star_999_1999 asked:

I had to re-install windows on my computer because it had viruses. and now it all works fine but everything on the screen is really big! Nothing fits on without being adjusted. I go to display settings and the resolution is on 640X480 and I cant move the slider. Iv been told that maybe the video card driver or something is not installed anymore? But how do I get it/fix it? or what do I need to do? I dont know what my video card is or anything either. Iv had the computer about 4 years so its not like its on the Dell website anymore or anything.

My dog ate my nickname…. asked:

Yesterday when my sibling was using the computer, the monitor picture just compressed itself and turned into dark colors. Then it started making a screeching noise, then it started smelling like smoke in that room.

Today when we turned it back on, it shows the desktop company’s name correctly without any problem. Then when it showed the xp loading screening, it was a tiny bit compressed, but right after that it was the same problem as yesterday.

What caused this problem to happen and how can i fix it? Please help.
I found out that the monitor is the problem. I tested the computer with vnc from my laptop and it seemed fine. Thanks for your help.

Josh asked:

I was on my computer early this morning and everything was working perfectly fine. When I went back on it at about 12:30 this afternoon the monitor was black, with the exception of the white arrow from the mouse. I shut it off, and after Windows loaded, I got the same thing. I tried unplugging it also. Neither of those things worked. I checked, and the monitor is plugged into the computer. What can I do to get my monitor working again? Thanks in advance!

RAVIKIRAN asked:

Computer monitor problem? Itz Lenovo.
It would change the brightness/contrast on its own. and then i would change it back, and about 5 minutes later, the same thing happens. When I return the brightness back to normal, it automatically changes it like 3 seconds later. and i cant make the box go away and the box sometimes freezes. can anyone tell me whats going on and how to stop it?
