TaiFong Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Hi there. I have a problem.It seems as though my monitor likes to randomly shut off. I could be doing anything from surfing the web to playing a game. I have a Compaq MV900 monitor. All of my drivers are installed properly, I have a GeForce 4 Ti4600, my desktop resolution is on 1024 x 768, and my refresh rate is on 85Hz. I have the suspicion that my video card is just too powerful for the monitor. Previously, I had a Ti4200 and I had the same problem. Have any of you heard of a problem like this before? Is it the monitor or is it a software/hardware issue? If you need any more information to troubleshoot, go ahead and ask! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaiFong Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 I have another monitor that I did try. It worked fine. That's why I think the monitor has problems.Oh, and something I forgot to mention. After the monitor shuts off, I have to wait a certain amount of time (a few minutes) before it will turn on again. If I try to turn it on before that time, the indicator light will come on, but the monitor won't show any graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 My other monitor is faulty, everytime I start a game it goes on standby, everytime I run a winamp plugin at full screen, it goes on standby! Seemed it didn't like DirectX because all the other monitors work fine. Going to get it RMA'ed when I can be bothered to do it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
