WTF @ my monitor?

[crombie09]

It keeps going blank by itself. I thought the pc was going into sleep mode at 1st but it comes back on for about 30 seconds when I turn the monitor off and then back on. This is all of a sudden. Its a Planar 21 inch flat. Not too old, maybe 3 years?

you have to reboot the flux capacitor. Planar monitors require 1.1 gigawatts of electricity. The capacitor gets filled so the scuzzy control can't take all the electricity, thats why it turns off

Re: WTF @ my monitor?

This phucking sucks. Whats wrong with this thing? I literally have to turn it on and off every 30 seconds to get the screen to come back on. Is this something that is wrong with the PC or the monitor? Anyone know?

Re: WTF @ my monitor?

on a serious note - check the surge protector, swap it out with another one in your house and see if it gets better. the flux capacitor thing was a joke, but its not far from what could be happening. Unplug the monitor from power surge and check the cable itself.

anyone been playin with the settings on the monitor itself? no on the PC, but the little bottons on the monitor itself. sometimes a combination of presses on those buttons turns on/off features. worth checking.

how old is the monitor? btw, Planar monitors are cheap for a reason...

Re: WTF @ my monitor?

Ok I'll look into that. I think I remember this thing being pretty pricey a few years back. Thanks fit

Once it starts doing that, you are on the way of needing a new monitor. You can try adjusting the refresh rates in the display settings.

Hmmm well that sucks to hear.

I tried taking it out of the surge protector and just using it in the wall outlet too and it was good for about 15 mins and then the screen went blank.

Guess I'll just buy a new desktop and monitor while Im at it.

Try a system restore to an earlier date, before you had this problem. If you go to your Programs and click on Accessories then go to System Tools, that is where System Restore is at.

That brings up a box that says System Restore but the box is white and blank.

Lol, i think you need a new one. You might want to try reloading your OS.
