Tekken05,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
You can try reseatting the video card in the system to see if that will get you into windows. Once there go in and change the Resolution. If that does not work try turning the system on first and then the monitor.

junkseller2,
You will need to shut the system down and unplug the power cable and the cable that connects to the video card from the monitor. You then can open the system and remove the screw that keeps the card secure. Once the screw is removed you can then pull the video card straight up and out of the slot. After you have done that put the card back in and screw it back down then shut the case.Plug all cable in and start the system back up to see if that took care of the issue.

First let me say that it looks like some people that are posting on this forum simply have their PC in standby, or power save mode, and don't know how to get it out. Others have an actual defective video card. This is what I have.
I managed to correct this problem, But you may not like the answer. I removed the Geforce4 video card, and stuck in an old PCI card and the screen came back. I went in and changed the settings that Dell suggests(standby - never, etc). and then put the card back in. The problem was still there. I took the Geforce4 out and put the PCI card back in and deinstalled the Geforce4 software and drivers. Then I put the Geforce4 card back in - Same problem. This being said, I believe that the card itself is defective. Because after removing drivers, the system should act as if I just installed a brand new card. And it does not. My explanation is that the card has in some way malfunctioned, and the symptoms of this malfunction are the same as "power save mode". Dell needs to offer a replacement video card to anyone who has this defective card.
