furhter info on this proble. During the POST screen when it reports the hardware the display goes into a perfectly normal black background and white text. Immediately after it goes to the alternate orange and white lettering then win98 opens and there are vertical lines on the screen at regular intervals. Tried a different monitor with same result but don't have spare video card. Ran a diagnostic sotware package and when it tested the page memory of the vga card it said it was expecting value of 55h and seeing 54h with a report of memory fail.
Think something elsewhere is affecting the vga card which is less than 3 months old.
