Monitor problem - system halt
Hello everyone - this is my first post. I am not a computer expert and I need your help...
(I have searched the forum to find an answer to this without success - so hopefully I'm not repeating an earlier post.)
I have recently moved my computer (Dell Dimension 5000 - purchased Jan 05) a distance of approx 10ft. This necessitated unplugging everything. When I put it back together again I now get this message:
System halted!
Attention: Unsupported Video Configuration Detected
Action is Required
This computer has an add-in graphics card, but the monitor is plugged
into the integrated video connector.
To attach the monitor cable to the add-in graphics card:
1. Shut down the computer
2. Plug the monitor cable into the add-in graphics card connector.
This may require a video adapter or video adapter cable.
(provided with the system)
3. Turn on the computer.
This message should not appear after completing these steps.
For more information or help, please refer to the system documentation
This message appears after a few seconds - up to this point the computer looks as if it is booting up as normal. Nothing I do can get me past this message.
The thing is I was very careful to note exactly where everything was plugged in and made sure it was put back in the same place. I've had a look at the back of the box - there is only one socket that the monitor could possibly go in. Also I do not have the adapter referred to - although of course everything worked fine without it before so I can't see why I would need it now!
What do I do? Any help very gratefully received.
Stuart
