hello..installed winxp pro over win98se..everything went
smoothly for an hour or so when suddenly the screen began
to vibrate/blink in a crazy fashion. now it will
sometimes boot up properly and run for a few minutes
before acting this way and at other times it will blink
as soon as its booting up. thankyou
 
Erratic monitor could be caused by the wrong video driver
being installed. Your video card might not have any XP
drivers. Try to find XP drivers for your video card.

It is also possible that your monitor just began to fail and
it was a coincidence that it happened at the time you
updated.

If it was bad all the time I would definitely suspect the
driver. But since it takes a while and doesn't always do
it, I suspect the monitor, possibly a heat problem causing a
problem with the display.

It could be heat on the video card or it could be internal
to the monitor.

Hope you get the problem sorted out. If you have access to
any hardware you can swap you can troubleshoot the problem.
Try a different monitor or try the suspect monitor on
another computer.
