Agozer Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Just 2 minutes ago I was browsing Havoc Forums, when BAM! my monitor shut itself off. Just like that. I don't use any power management features nor did I press any shortcut buttons on my keyboard. I had to restart to remedy this horrible feat. A poltergeist I tell ya! Anyone else here that has had similar unnatural experiences?
2eyez Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Just some electrical problems. Nothing to worry about.
Gryph Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Oddly enough that happened to my Dad yesterday. When I came back from school he was hounding me with questions on whether he needs a new monitor or if he has a virus. He's very paranoid about those kinds of things.
Xeon Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 as far as i remember, youre using an old PC right? is the monitor as old as the PC? anyways, im not wishing for this but prepare for a repair as it is possible that we'll share the situation later. my monitor is broken (currently using TV). im saying this because that was one of the first symptoms that i experienced as well. then later the screen gets distorted eventually. later some black outs, then finally there it is, broken monitor.
saiyanfire Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 did u get a blue screen before it shut itself off?
