    Ok this problem has been pissin me off for weeks now and ive tried everything possible to find out what up with it. After i load say a game up and it goes full screen MOST of the time the monitor will black out? the power light will still be green but the screen is black. If i turn it off then straight back on the picture will appear for about 1 second some times 2 or 3 then go back off. If i turn the monitor turned off with the button for say an hour, turn it back on still does same. If i unplug lead from back which is a DC IN : 12V 2.0A lead, leave it for half an hour put it back in it will be ok for about an hour....when its in windows it seems to be ok but SOMETIMES can still go off. Now i dont know if its me but when i put the resolution REFRESH rate higher or the resolution it even goes off in windows...the monitor is not hot not even warm, when the monitor is on it works just fine looks perfect ect...what could this be its blaggin my head. thanx

    Oh and just to say i had the monitor givven. It is a 15" LCD which i forgot to mention. When i had the monitor givven it didnt have the power lead for it so i had to get another...but ive tried 2 different power leads...still same :confused:

    Could be caused by a malfunctioning graphics card. Could you try to connect another monitor to your computer? If it does the same, your graphics card is malfunctioning. If it works great on the other monitor, then you'll need to replace the monitor.
