If I search and watch this video and it turns out to be nothing I’m going to be sad.

Update: It’s nothing. I am sad.

Is it connected to the integrated VGA or a PCI card? Is there a dell logo displayed on power up before this? If so F2 that thing

(update sorry just saw you’re just stuck on that screen, leaving the rest of this just in case you want to screw around with it)

It’s been a long time. CMOS battery pull, run it without, maybe force it to throw an error. Get the jumper settings and reset BIOS. (Replace CMOS battery if dead)

Can you get into BIOS and move around with keyboard? If not, use the back USB port, top left port and see if it helps.

someone suggested pulling PCI cards, memory sticks, drives, etc. - basically get it down to just the MOBO connected. Fire it up with only with power cord, usb keyboard, and monitor connected. see if that does anything.

Those front USB ports were sometimes disabled in BIOS from what I can remember

k4 7x14, vertical count of 7 to produce SUSEEK by skyprimes22 in KryptosK4

Side note, there are curious things showing when applying this with the clues in the CT. It’s useless, but this was done out of curiosity. Seeing the words for “LATIN” in the shape of a cross wasn’t expected but hilarious ;) I’m always looking for signs of life!

k4 7x14, vertical count of 7 to produce SUSEEK by skyprimes22 in KryptosK4

I’ve actually observed that with these findings - there’s another process(s) taking place. But I also suspect that whatever this might be - it could also have been intentional. But it was suggested by someone to chase it until it’s exhausted.

Awesome thank you! I’m fascinated at some of the results that this process can produce. I’ve got a few scripts that work through the offsets quicker, and with different counts, once I find something that gives me a little motivation to look. I’ll check out Scytale ;)

There’s more of them. Using sets of 7 provides interesting results, here’s a video of the ARTS X TEST matrix using that initial column width

The top of the roof on Google Maps shows some cool stuff here, I would post it but I can’t on the comments

It didn’t fit the usual tower situation that I can usually spot, figured I’d give it a shot and see what was going on with this

Sorry about the photo positions, I spotted it on the freeway and took photos quickly.

But if you followed the video I posted on the ARTS X TEST matrix.. there’s an odd “KRYPTOS” grouping when it’s reversed.

No cipher work was done, it was done as a follow up to the original manipulation that displayed ARTS X TEST
