Solve : Monitor Gibberish?

1.	Solve : Monitor Gibberish?
Answer» My monitor is showing colored dollar signs when I turn it on...but they GO away as the computer LOADS but then I have green/red/yellow rectangle bars across the SCREEN. Can SOMEONE help me with this? Thanks so much.Sounds like a damaged monitor? Is this a Desktop computer or a Laptop? When did this happen? When you turn on the computer, is the first thing you see that 'gibberish'sounds more like a graphics card problem to me. my old Rage Pro does it every few boot-ups- I always thought my K6-2's mobo was going, but I replaced the video card and the problem dissapeared. it could also be a incompatible setting in the BIOS- AGP speed, aperture size, etc.Remove the vid card and clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol or a pencil eraser... Use a can of compressed air to blow out the slot. Re-assemble and re-boot. If it still does it then the card is failing as BC alluded to...
