I had lost the start up chime on my dual 867Mhz Powermac, so I reset the PRAM.
Now the startup chime is working fine but I have a new problem.

The startup screen on my monitor is now distorted. Once it boots into the Mac OS X screen everything is fine.

What could have caused this and is there a way to get the startup screen back to normal?

Incorrect video resolution and/or refresh rate.

Have you tried resetting the pram again?
