Hi,
Just got a new laptop with Windows XP Pro, when i turn it on the opening info (BIOS writing etc) can clearly be seen, however as soon as the windows XP logo shows the screen goes almost totally black (you can just about make it out)... windows then loads as normal... then after a random amount of time the screen brightens up and i can continue on. It only happens on startup, doesnt go dark once its loaded. I have had a look in the BIOS and cant see any monitor settings and I cant see anything in XP. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks for any help
