Hi all,

Here is a weird one for you: thought I do a clean install of 8.04 over my merely upgraded version. The upgraded version worked fine but Skype was giving me issues so I thought a clean install from a boot cd would be a good idea. Famous last words...

After creating a boot cd I did a backup and started to do a clean install. After booting into the installation manager I am going through the steps, start the partitioning and all of a sudden the monitor goes into power saving mode - no picture, nothing. So I thought 'this is strange' and pushed the power button to try again.

Well - what can I say? Now every single time I try to do the installation the monitor sooner or later goes into power saving mode and I am completely blind. Same when booting from the cd. So irritating!

I am running a Dell Dimension 9200 with the 24'' monitor.

All help is appreaciated!
