Hi everyone,

My neighbour has a flatscreen monitor, and she said it suddenly started shutting off a few weeks or days ago (I can't remember which). She said she made sure the cord is tightly attached, and when she turns the monitor on again it comes right back, and the cpu itself stays going.

Could that be a driver issue?

Thanks!

    I really doubt here monitor is just shutting off, unless you/she can confirm that the power light on the monitor no longer lights. Did you confirm that?

    Does her monitor have a built-in power cable or a plug-in. It might be as simple as just testing a known, good standard power cable with her monitor. Sometimes cables go bad. Of course, it could be something else, but a cable check would be the logical first troubleshooting step.
