Even though some older PC's supply the 230v for the monitor out of a socket on the power supply, its just a straight-through (the switch) connection, which should not affect the monitor at all. You really need to try another monitor, to be able to diagnose if its the PC/Video card at fault or the monitor itself. |

| 102853 | 2002-12-03 01:06:00 | Yup, that's what I will try next...my flatmates monitor. But yes, the power supply has nothing to do with the monitor, but it does have something to do with my pc turning off. That's why I got a new one, I had a 230W, with 2 Cd drives, 2 HD's and a beast of a video card. |

| 102854 | 2002-12-03 01:29:00 | I would guess that the problem with the PC turning off wasmore likely to be caused by brown-outs seeing as you live in Auckland - ask Bruce, he seems to know all about that ;) ;) ;) | crozier (2004) | ||
| 102855 | 2002-12-03 01:34:00 | Seriously though, check that the cards are seated properly - I've found that a not-quite-seated card can cause this type of problem, especially AGP cards. | crozier (2004) | ||
| 102856 | 2002-12-03 02:57:00 | You mean check the cards for the screen shaking and the crazy colours or the powering off? Cause I have sorted that problem with the new power supply... | Synergy (2675) | ||
