@thebear123 Sounds like very power hungry display.
Running from the same power supply?

[TheBear123]

@xeon Kinda. They both take power from a branch, wich is full

@thebear123 I don't understand sorry.

@thebear123 can you give me the model number and brand of the monitor? We could help you set the correct resolution if we knew more about the monitor

[TheBear123]

@edmaul69 It's a DELL E193FPc 19" monitor

[TheBear123]

@edmaul69 It has a 1280X1024 at 75 Hz resolution

[edmaul69]

@thebear123 so you need to open up /boot/config.txt and change your hdmi_mode and hdmi_group to this:

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=36

This is the setting for 1280x1024@75hz

[TheBear123]

@edmaul69 Didn't work

@thebear123 Could you uncomment the following line in /boot/config.txt?

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

This should force a HDMI mode even though your monitor doesn't support it.

@dudleydes THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! IT WORKED
