Yellowish monitor issue
Hi there.
I am having a strange issue with my system, the day before yesterday i turn on my PC, it booted normally but in a couple of minutes the screen turned yellowish (I still could see the desktop) and a couple of minutes after the screen turned off.
I went to see the CPU and it was still on, but then a minute later it also went off.
I immediately proceeded to turn on the computer once again but this time the screen would not turn on.
The motherboard was reading A0.
So, I opened the case and resetted BIOS with a screwdriver on the 2 pins for several seconds.
Pressed power button and chose Optimized settings, computer booted normally and I was alleviated while using it all day.
Yesterday morning I went to turn on my computer and the same thing happened, but this time the cpu stayed on. I tried resetting the cpu but the screen never went on again.
I had to power off holding the power button for several seconds.
I did not try resetting the BIOS once again because I really don’t want this to happen again, I have 2 internal HDD that I don’t want the data to get corrupted.
That’s why I come here to this wonderful forum to get help.
My system specs is:
- Processor: Core i5-2500K Quad-Core 3.3 GHz 6 MB Cache
- Memory: 8GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz - F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
- GPU: Sandy Bridge
- Monitor: Acer X233H LCD
- OS DRIVE: Crucial m4 128GB 2.5-Inch (9.5mm) SATA 6Gb/s Solid State
- OS DRIVE: Western DC WD5000AAKS
(500.1GB, SATA300, 3.5", 7200rpm, NCQ, 16MB Cache)
THANKS.
