Burn in mode
Hi, often when I come back to work on the morning, my monitor shows "Burn in mode", I have to reboot because there is nothing I can do. What is this burn in mode? It happen on my last PC, then I changed it for a new one but I kept the old monitor. Someone can help?

I'll maybe be more loucky on this forum, here's my problem:

Burn in mode may be a test mode in the monitor itself?
Geek Acolyte
yes, but I tried to switch monitors, and it still showing "burn in mode"

Maybe I did not understand the problem described.
Did you swap the PC to a different one or just swapped monitors and the problem stayed?
Geek Acolyte
Both. The problem has started on the old PC. Then, I tried to swap the current monitor with an other one, the message burn in mode is still on the screen. Later, because this pc was pretty old, I bought a new one but I kept the first monitor. Everything was going well, but maybe 2 or 3 months later, the problem came back with the NEW pc, and the old monitor. Is it clear enough?

PEICEWhat OS is installed?
First, have you tried using another monitor to see if this happens then?
Second, do you have a program for testing your computer (like SYSOFT SANDRA) installed on your computer? SS has a Burn In section for testing the hardware of a computer by putting it under stress. If you have such a program check to see if you have it set up to run a check at set intervals.

You have posted this twice (here and in the link below - see there for my reply). You only need to post into one forum, posting twice just gets things mixed up with answers scattered all over the place
