Monitor Problems
Action
Screen flickers.
Set the monitor for the highest, noninterlaced refresh rate
supported by the monitor and the video controller in your
computer. Refer to the documentation that comes with your
monitor and the S3 README file that is provided on the
Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD for your computer for
information on the refresh rates supported by your monitor and
the video controller in your computer. (There are several S3
README files on the CD; use the one that corresponds to your
operating system.)
Important:
Using a resolution or refresh rate that is not supported
by your monitor might damage it.
You can reset the refresh rate through your operating system. See
the S3 README file for instructions.
Refer to your operating-system documentation for further
information on monitor settings.
If this does not correct the problem, have the monitor and
computer serviced.
The monitor works
when you turn on the
system, but goes
blank when you start
some application
programs.
Verify that:
1. The monitor signal cable is securely connected to the monitor
and the monitor connector on the computer. For the location
of the monitor connector, see “External connectors” on
page 14.
2. The necessary device drivers for the application programs are
installed.
If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the monitor
and computer serviced.
The monitor works
when you turn on the
system, but goes
blank after some
period of computer
inactivity.
The computer is probably set for energy savings with the
Advanced Power Management (APM) feature. If the APM feature
is enabled, disabling APM or changing APM settings might solve
the problem (see “Setting power management features” on
page 76).
If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the computer
serviced.
