screen flashing red, green and blue on i8600 lcd
:smileysad:i have a inspiron 8600 with a xga screen... ever since my move when i power on my notebook my screen is white in color during the bios screen ( no bios screen at all, no letters no nothing) just white background.. then where the win xp logo should be visible the screen seems to go into a dianostics mode, it flashes all red then all green and then blue.. the screen just repeats itself again and again flashing these colors. i can hear windows boot up to desktop and still nothing just aflashing screen of different colors. i had a quadro fx 1000 go in it at the time and thinking maybe the video card was bad i pulled it out and put my stock fx 5200 in it and the screen still does the same thing.. i tried reseating the lcd cable and nothing.. is my screen fried or is it something else???? any help appreciated....

Same problem but I installed Ubuntu on the same machine before this had happened. I can boot into Ubuntu just fine with no problems! This has got to be the one of the weirdest things I've ever saw in windows. As another member of this forum said, I can hear windows booting properly (or least it sounds like it) in the background. I was installing some windows security updates along with a couple of optional updates when my computer just started flashing red, green, black, white and blue and repeating. There was no driver being installed through windows update... All I can think of is maybe the video card driver for windows was somehow corrupted.
I tried rebooting into safe mode and the same thing, the flashing of colors. If I can't find a fix I'm to reinstall Windows. I will post updates and please post if you find anything else out.
I'm using:
*Windows 7 Home Premium
*Dell Inspiron One 2320
