No it isn't: I get exactly the same from the onboard graphics. I've
disconnected everything except the monitor (HDD connected or not.)and the
situation is the same:

Next step is to clear the CMOS. Take the battery out and short the
battery connections. If there is a "clear CMOS" jumper, put that in the
clear position as well. Wait two minutes, return jumper to original
setting, refit battery and test.
