Display Fades to Black
QUESTION: Is it the monitor or video card or software problem?
My monitor display fades to black occasionally, taking 2 to 3 seconds to fade out. Computer still functions, but can't see anything on the display. The monitor "on" light remains on, so it always has power, and turning monitor on/off doesn't regain any display. Warm reboot won't bring back the display. Cold reboot after waiting a few hours brings it back, until today: cold started the computer and display is dark. Do I need new monitor or video card or is it software related? |

Probably the monitor - try swapping it with another, and seeing if the
