Welcome to PCHF Smett,

What happens if you press the Esc or F2 key/s.

Please provide information about your computer, is it a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the CPU, MB, the RAM (including the amount) add on video card if one is used and the PSU (power supply unit) providing these details will enable folk to better assist you.

This with esc/f2 have always come up for years never been able to fix it, so it doesnt have anything to do with this problem, will post specs soon thanks!

We had no way of knowing that the Esc/F2 message had been coming up for years but not asking what happens if you press those keys would have been negligent on our behalf.

We will look out for your specs.

Can I ask that you do not quote every reply, it really does not help any and just makes for unnecessary reading, thanks.

Okay so i just tried to change graphicscard aswell and now the green lines are gone, let’s see if it starts upp correctly then we know the problem

Okay so now it works without any problems, sadly the gfx card in right now only has 1 port for screen..

Not ideal but at least you now know what component has failed.
