| 434037 | 2006-02-26 19:50:00 | Hi I have a problem with the monitor I bought a few months ago. The monitor screen suddenly goes black but the CPU light remains on. :confused: The only way I can see the normal screen again is by restarting the computer. The problem happens at different times - sometimes while I am working on the PC and sometimes when I go away for sometime. I have also checked the screensaver and the Power Management settings to see if they were causing it but I have selected no screen saver and my power management settings are set to home/office settings. I told the shop about the problem and they replaced the monitor but I am still having the same problem with the new monitor. Has anyone else ever had such a problem? |

| 434039 | 2006-02-26 21:01:00 | Have a look at www.computerhope.com With 2 monitors doing the same thing it is either a common fault in that batch of monitors or more likely as suggested on above site. |

| 434041 | 2006-02-26 22:43:00 | try setting all the power management settings to "Never". I also had a problem similar to that when my video card was dieing. | Greven (91) | ||
| 434042 | 2006-02-27 00:02:00 | Just because the CPU light is "on" does not mean that anyone is home. When this happens next, try the keyboard Caps Lock key, the Caps Lock light should toggle on and off each time it is pressed. If it does, the CPU is alive and well. If not, then the CPU has ceased working (the PC has fatally crashed) and its pointless blaming the monitor. It's just an easy way of diagnosing to a futher extent. |

| 434043 | 2006-02-27 03:11:00 | Might want to check the refresh rate is not too high, and the monitor is overheating. Right-click the desktop, and choose properties. "Setting" tab "Advanced" button "Monitor" tab change to 60HZ |

| 434045 | 2006-03-02 21:58:00 | Thanks everyone! Ever since I changed all the power management settings to "Never" the problem has not happened! :thumbs: |
