Captain Support: Not to the rescue…

| Feb 3, 2012 10:24 +0000

This morning, the display on one of my computers was a bit odd. I rebooted the machine and when it came up I got no output on the monitor. I plugged my laptop into the monitor and that worked fine, so it looked like the graphics card had died. I popped…
