Try using a different monitor on the server, or try using the monitor that is being

 

 

tested on a different server.

 

3.

Run the diagnostic programs. If the monitor passes the diagnostic programs,

 

 

the problem might be a video device driver.

 

4.

Reseat the Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine (if one is present).
