Is this a laptop?
"everything is unplugged" what is everything?

Well, its resolved, as I said. My interest is in why it becomes as issue. But to answer your question, I actually tried that quite a few times because I didn't want to have to unplug everything, especially the money.
You're so nice for trying. Ty

Hi
In my view, it's because of accumulated residual "Flea power". (stagnant power in the circuits which must be drained)
But, just to be sure, I would change the CMOS battery.
I was a pleasure exchanging with you. Come around anytime.
P.S. I hope you are not surfing the net with that Windows old XP, that would be asking for trouble.

Yes. I actually planned on changing the cmos batteries on two computers. But I didn't know the two issues were connected. I wondered. But i wasn't sure. What do you mean by "stagnant flea powder?"
Haha. No. I don't have internet on my windows XP computers. But why do you say that? Viruses? Hacking?
Its been my pleasure as well. I thank you so much!

Let me try to explain the "flea Power". A computer is a huge bank of registers. A register can be a 1, a 0 , or NULL (not on or off). Sometimes, electricity is "stored" in a capacitor, or other devices, that will hold (or clamp) a register to "not normal value", therefore preventing normal startup. What you are doing, is forcing the CLAMPED power to be removed from the system, removing the clamp, and allowing all registers to return to NULL. On startup, the CPU is expecting a NULL. It knows what to do with a NULL. I hope that helps!
It does help. I thank you! :)
What I don't understand is how does the cmos have to do with video?
For example, I changed the cmos battery and computer didn't start again. But upon unplugging and holding power button for 30 seconds and plugging everything back in again, it started. The date and time were correct as well. I thought the cmos battery only dealt with day and time.
Hopefully the problem is now fixed.
You've been wonderful. Ty
