Still confused
A while ago i had a problem with my pc. It shut off on me
one day without warning and for a while i couldnt get it to start up anymore. I reinstalled windows and wiped everything clean, but my monitor/pc keeps turning itself off on me. I can go online or open windows but it wont stay on very long.I cannot imagine what is causing this problem. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Along with the reinstall of windows98, i also lost my sound. I've been trying to find and dowload the correct drivers but whenever i try to download them it just turns off on me again so i'm a bit stuck here. HELP -Elaine |

Elaine, have you got access to another monitor you can try? borrow one of a
friend or neibour perhaps. you could also try posting in this NG "microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion" I`ve found them to be very good and helpfull in the past. Kim "Elaine" wrote in message ...

Kim thanks for that Newsgroup! it is great and i got alot
of useful info from it. Although i do have access to an old PC that still works, i dont have the correct cables to hook up that monitor to my current pc anylonger. What i did was connected my current monitor to the old pc, and it stays on so i'm pretty sure its not the monitor. Whenever it turns off i hear a little tick inside the pc tower and the screen turns off as in standby mode. But thank you for the info!
