What is the monitor? I had a similar issue with a G5 with a Apple ADC 23" Studio monitor plugged in; it turned out to be a bad power brick for the monitor. When I plugged in a monitor to the DVI connection it worked. Apple shipped a lower wattage unit with the 23"; this professor went through two of them under warrantee, until he got Apple to swap it out for a power brick from a 30"...no problems since. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
