Dell Inspiron 5160 - screen showing red, green, blue, white, black alternatley

I looked through the forum to find answers to this and have found nothing so far.

The computer, when it is turned on, does not display the BIOS (or POST); It goes straight to the screen showing the red, green, blue, white and black alternatley at about 2/3 second intervals. This sequence is repeated.

He did at the first stop of the loop and show a version hurt badly formed of what I had on screen before it started doing this.

I tried to restart (turn off by 6 second hold button / stop and remove the battery and power supply).

No more recent hardware changes.

Works with Windows XP Pro SP2.

64 MB Nvidia GeForce Go 5200

3.06 processor Pentium 4 GHz

1.25 GB OF RAM

* Edit * SXGA + 15 "screen

Help with this is appreciated the most.

  • HP Omni 120-1050xt: screen goes to red, green, blue, white, black after upgrade to Windows 10

    When the PC is idle, the screen turns red, green, blue, white, black, and every time I need to turn off the machine. He said "best driver for your device is already installed" - Intel HD Graphics. I tried to uninstall, install.

    Greetings,

    HP not support your PC when you run Win 10.

    I suggest that use the "Go Back " process win 10 ASAP.

    If this is not possible because of your graphics problems you'll have to do a restore to factory HP.

    I can help you more with this if you wish.

    If the upgrade was forced on you there are ways to stop the involuntary update.

    Let me know if you need further assistance.

  • Now 23-d044 - installed MXM video card - HP Envy screen flashes red green blue black

    Hello

    I'm a 23-d044 I wanted to do the update/install video card instead of using the integrated graphics card.  I tried two different cards, a nVidia GeForce GT 540 m 2 GB and a part of HP AMD card #707804-002.  In each case the applied heat sink was part HP #694456-001. In each case, whenever I go back to the PC and it works, the screen flashes red, green, blue, black, white to infinity. I have read these and other forums indicating that this is a fault with the GPU, but I find that is unlikely given that I tried two different cards. I thought that maybe the MXM connection on the motherboard, but on the original motherboard power connector was defective, I have since replaced the motherboard (about 2 weeks ago) with the same part number. I downloaded both the AMD and nVidia drivers the most recent for each card (while running the integrated graphics card), but not joy.  Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks in advance for the help!

    Sean

    Sean, I had the same problem too.  I finally thought to it.  Just above where the grafics card go is two connectors and one of them has a plug in there.  above the connectors, said uma_lvds, the other says MXM_LVDS.  Swap the power cord of the uma_lvds to the mxm_lvds.  This will fix the problem and you will be running.

  • Toshiba Kira - screen flashes red green blue black

    Hi all

    I have a Ultrabook Kira I bought last year and it worked fine until about 3 months ago.

    But now he has a problem with the screen as follows.
    She suddenly starts cycling continuously full-color on-screen, and then sometimes it returns to normal for some time and randomly goes back again to the annoying cycling colors.

    Depending on the problem, it will loop the following exact sequence of colors: red, green, blue, black, gray.

    I don't think that it is a loose cable problem because it goes into the problem and comes back without any movement of the machine.

    I mean, the machine itself starts the dysfunction and restores normality by itself.
    These days, I can't work without an external monitor, since the problem is now practically constant.
    I've updated the bios but the problem remains.

    I searched for this problem all around the internet and could see that many people, who bought this laptop model, have the same problem. Thus, it seems to be a failure of the design.

    Thank you!

    > These days, I can't work without an external monitor, since the problem is now practically constant.

    For me, it would mean that the graphics card is OK and the problem must be linked to the internal display.
    However, it looks like hardware problem and that's why I recommend you contact the after-sales service provider authorized to set especially if the warranty is still valid.

    Your comments would be appreciated

  • 2407WFP Power Save mode - only flashes red, green, blue, black, white, repeat

    Hello

    My 2407WFP won't go into fashion, economy of energy even when the computer is off. (He used to do this properly).

    When the computer sleeps, turned off, or when the cable is disconnected, the monitor will be full-screen flash red, green, blue, black, white, then go to sleep for about 5 seconds. Then, he repeats this sequence instead of going right to sleep/wake.

    Different computers, different cables, no change. Is it possible that this is somehow the self-test mode?

    Thank you.

    maheisel

    Four "beeps", could indicate a memory problem, if you are comfortable working inside the computer, try to open the case, remove and reinstall all memory modules and see if that makes a difference.

    If you not comfortable working with the removal and the reinstallation of the components, then I suggest that you take the Inspiron 530 to a repairman.

    Is the power button LED, blue constant or flashing blue?

    Every change made to the 530 recently?

  • Dell inspiron 7559 screen brightness flicker

    Hi, I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 7559 for school, my first laptop ever. It took me about 6 months to finally decide on a laptop, and I am very happy with it... it's beautiful. But I had two problems with the display. First of all, there is a slight yellow discoloration on half right, not a big problem, just my OCD, probably just a backlight bleed or something. But the big problem is that the brightness of the screen flashes constantly. I can only really noticed on the lowest brightness, but I use those so it's a problem. I've tried EVERYTHING. Tons of pilot fiddling, fiddling power supply option. I can't say if it sparkles in the bist of screen or the lcd screen of the bios, but I have disabled the NVidia intel HD graphics drivers and and no matter what I do, it still flashes. This makes me think that it is a hardware problem. If someone has an idea, I would really appreciate it. Do I have to send in for repair, or simply wait a little I read online somewhere that the lcd backlighting should "settle" so he can stop the blinking with takes a decent amount of screen time. Sorry for the long post, but this is my first pc, and I'm a bit picky about the function of my things. Thank you.

    How long have you had your xps and don't know if it's a hardware failure?

  • Dell Inspiron 560MT desktop shows as laptop in devices and printers.

    Original title: My Dell Inspiron 560MT Office presents itself as the laptop & is now described as a laptop in the devices & printers after installing Microsoft updates.

    I did a back to factory reinstall on my windows 7 destop & the appropriate icon on the desktop & description appeared in the devices & Printers: he has been described as a Dell Inspiron (I think or something like).
    After searching & install microsoft updates the desktop icon ichanged to an icon of the laptop & my PC has been described as a laptop.

    I downloaded the Microsoft Mr Fixit 50527 listed on this site (see below) for this problem. My icon briefly changed back to a desktop computer - I don't know if the text changed cell phone on the desk, as the icon returned to be very quickly - new: a laptop so I couldn't verify this.

    Same question here.

    Resolved with this patch microsoft form http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2403006 it changes the realistic icon and a good device

    It happened again - the icon changed to return a laptop icon & I am looking for more information, but some things seemed quite complicated.

    In any case, I wondered what would happen if I unchecked "replace generic icons & then Microsoft has set as the fix has worked before, but only very briefly for a few seconds before changing to the wrong laptop icon.»

    So I just did--
    A click with the right button on the laptop icon
    Clicked on the device (from the list who came)
    Click "replace generic icons.
    Then I did another Microsoft fix (I mentioned previously on this post) & it seems to have WORKED.

    It now shows the correct icon (an office) & information

    See the section "manually install the drivers' specifically.

  • Dell Inspiron 1520 screen brightness adjustment does not

    When I try to adjust the brightness of the screen by pressing the Fn key and pressing the up/down arrows, nothing happens. I finally found it to work several months ago. I downloaded Dell Quickset and BIOS update today, but this does not solve the problem. Any constructive suggestion appreciated.

    Brian

    I just tried this and IT WORKED! I don't know how much luck you'll have, but try the Fn key and pressing the up and down arrows while your computer starts. It worked for me. For my Inspiron 1420, I adjusted the brightness, while he was when the screen went black and the words "Microsoft Corporation" above and the Green loading bar going across the screen. That's what I did and I hope it works for you! :)

  • Precision device 60 spitting red green blue color bars

    Hello world.

    We have two precision 60 camera running SpeakerTrack through a C40. Camera works fine but the other one spits of the colored bars - see below. Reboot the camera solves the problem for a week or two and then it returns. Someone saw something similar or have any ideas why this is happening? The system of control of the House is a Crestron DMPS300C. Is it possible that the code on what could be triggering some mode in the camera?

    Any help would be appreciated. See you soon.

    Hi David

    Greetings of the day!

    If even after the upgrade to version TC7.3.6 of such software suggested by Magnus above, problem persists, you can perform the reset of the camera of the P60.

    Here is the procedure to perform a factory reset:

    1. Locate the button hole of PIN at the back of the camera.

    2. use a pen or similar to push that button reset for 10 seconds.

    3. the camera will be LED in red over the factory reset.

    4. when the reset is complete, restart the camera and the camera LED lights.

    You can also check out the link that explains the above procedure to perform the factory below reset the P60 camera:

    If even after the factory reset issue persists, you can contact TAC and they can provide you with the replacement of the camera of the P60.
