It is connected to the Digital connector (only) of the ATI Radeon X300 card.
This seems to happen right after the bios post and just as WindowsXP is trying to strart loading.
I can't remember if this error ocurred before SP2 was loaded or not, but in order to get a clean install of SP2, I had to reload WindowsXP from the Dell disk.
I have the same msg. I've ensured the the B button is pressed. I tried several things already. Reseat cable, reset bios, power reset, uninstall/reinstall video driver, change screen resolution (lower/higher) and it still gives me the same msg.
Do I have to worry about this error? It seems that the display is fine inside Safe Mode and Normal Mode but error msg comes up every startup.
After working on this with Microsoft and Dell, what I found that seems to fix (at least on my system) is to reinstall the RADEON video card driver. Didn't uninstall, just downloaded and reinstalled.
Seems like something is clobbering the driver (corrupting) - but the error message went away.
