Posted September 7, 200816 yr I was in the middle of playing DoDS with knobjockey and all of a sudden my monitor shuts off. Anyway to fix this? I checked for unplugged cords etc. everything is plugged in. I don't know how to fix it.
September 7, 200816 yr Author Yeah, everything is on, the power button on the monitor is green. When I restart the PC it goes black, then lights up, goes black, etc. I can hear all of the sounds and stuff just not see what I'm clicking. for about 10 minutes. I'm going to get a test monitor in a few minutes. So I'll get back to you if it was just the monitor.

I Don't know, but get back when you have your test monitor.
September 7, 200816 yr Author Well, I know there's something wrong in the PC not the monitor, I've gone through three monitors now.

I'm on a dell with integrated GFX card so no gaming for awhile unless i find my old 7300 GS lying around somewhere. Thanks for the info anyways.
