Factory Burn In - What, why?

Recently my computer started it's own little screen saver - Factory Burn In, which seems to kick in some time after I've been inactive. It changes colour. What the hell caused this, and how do I get rid of it please?? :confused

 

The easy fix - factory burn in message just means the monitor is in a different mode. can be tripped by power spikes etc. here is the fix: Unplug the vga cable from the PC. turn the monitor on to check if its showing factory burn in message. turn the monitor off, then hold the 2 arrow buttons down while turning the monitor back on. you should now see a please check signal cable message. turn you monitor off, plug the VGA cable back in and you are all go.

Thank you! But what is the vga cord?

 

Hi,
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ATTACHMENT!!!
the VGA cable is the cable that goes from your Tower to the monitor,most have a blue coloured head, just remove it from the back of the Tower by un-screwing the two little screw pins and pull it off. once you have gone through the fix for the issue just push it back in and screw it back in place.
