How would i go about doing a C:scanreg/restore? How did
you do so if your monitor is blank? I am still at a loss
here. All my cables are in, no pins are bent, i cannot
figure it out. I have only had the computer for three
years its not old enough to be dying on me yet!

Hi, I had this happen to me a few weeks ago I booted up
one morning and just
a windows started to load the monitor switched of as if
in standby mode.
Anyway I done a c: scanreg /restore and restored the
registry to a previous
date before the fault occurred and that cured it
Still don`t no what
caused it though.

Check the cables and connections to make sure none
have become loose and
they are
fully seated. If you have access to another monitor,
try it to see if you
have the
same problem.
See if holding down the F5 key after the mem count
during POST gets you
to Safe
Mode.

I cannot figure out if i am having a software
problem or
a hardware problem. Whenever i startup, i cannot get
to
my desktop before my monitor turns itself off, all by
itself, even if i havent touched a key or my mouse. I
have tried everything i can think of, i have ran a
reinstall of windows but the monitor wont stay on
long
enough for me to see if it has worked. the monitor
will
stay on as long as i am running the reinstall but the
moment it is finished it turns itself off again and
the
LED light goes from green to amber, as if its in
standby
mode. I am really not sure what to do here, thinking
of
just throwing it away but i would really hate to
have to
do that if i can fix it. any help is welcome. Thank
you.
