There are 2 things that can be wrong. Hard Disk or the Display.

hello sorry im only back on line now through my laptop so its a hard drive prob or display what do i do next thanks.

Remove your display chord and see the message flashed.Does it show you the same white mark or is anything different flashes.If that is the case then place the chord firmly and your problem will be solved.Check the entire connection.

theres lots of symptoms and sometimes can be determined through different type of beeps assigned for errors. try listening on its beeps

I think your RAM have some problem.

u can check the bios.....if there is any way to connect the PC to a separate display u could try that to rule out the display as a cause.....it could be the cord connecting your monitor to the pc.

if this is a desktop its extremely rash to say that this is a RAM or a hard drive problem......a malfunctioning display isnt something to lose too much sleep over....especially on a desktop system
