Could u review Event Viewer for any related error? Check the date of errors & post back with error msgs for today.
U need to fix this first. Changing the settings is of no cure. |

Hi,
If it is a CRT monitor, Consider that the monitor may be on its last legs. also have you tried degaussing. Disregard this post if it is lcd / tft. This post has been edited by bobhome: May 5 2006, 06:37 PM -------------------- REGARDS

um i removed my video card ages ago since it was slowing down my desktop,im using the intel graphics controller 64mb now,the on board one.
can it also be a ram problem?,coz just recently i installed all these programs,that run at the same time,( windows defender,secretmaker,spybot ect ), my comps slow but i was expecting that i unpluged everything and repluged all the cables,now my monitor doesnt go dark like b4,since my last reply,still no problems,plus the system error i got,happened again as soon as i pluged in my webcam via USB,asoon as i pluged it in,bang,the comps restarted. ( using webcam for Gran turismo 4 photo mode,only way i can get pics to comp ). |

Well I have had a CRT for about 10 years so I don't think its burning out... unless they just don't make them like they used too.
