I am resending this message as I "messed up" earlier. I need some direction. Whenever I turn on computer I get a picture on my screen that says "SELF TEST" and has a dancing set of Red, Green and Blue columns (up& down the screen) and words: "This monitor is working. Please check video cable & computer". Then I push the second button on the CPU (the one directly below the start button); the Self test thing disappears and computer is O.K. But Self Test thing returns each time I turn on the unit! What have I done and how do I get rid of Self test on screen? Thanks for any assistance. Noelie in Baton Rouge.
