Hello Folks,
I have a Dell Dimension 8200 desktop with bios revision A09. During boot-up,
about a forth of the way from the top of the "Dell Splash Screen", there is
a single line of random characters and artifacts present.
This line does not seem to hurt anything, but I am quite curious none the
less. The same line was present even with a previous bios version installed.
This showed up in the past 6 months, before any bios changes. I've owned
the machine since new and it didn't have this line when I bought it. (I
upgraded to bios A09 a while back to see if it would correct the problem--
it didn't)
I have tried removing both hard drives, optical drives, and all additional
pci cards and there is no change.

Anyone seen this before?? Ideas?
Thanks!
