I may be faced with a failing Monitor
This machine is pretty much on 24/7 and monitors turn off automatically after 20 minutes of inactivity.
This is an "older" machine (Compaq Presario SR1900nx) running XP Home.
Other hardware details are listed below.
Context:
I was browsing and posting at various Forums, plus conducting some email via Outlook.
I had 4 browsers open with multiple tabs each.
I had an open email reply in composition.
then the second Monitor of two, just blinked off.
the Green power led stayed green and no warning screens appeared just a completely dark black screen with no activity.
I turned off the screen and back on, but it would not light up, though the Green power led returned just fine.
Display Screen #1 continued to work fine.
I used MS Display Properties to disable Screen #2, causing all of my windows to return to screen #1 for proper saving and closing.
I rebooted and then attempted to use Display Properties to extend to Screen #2. Voila! I have two screens again.
this is the first time I've had such a display failure on Screen #2.
As I am presently experiencing two screens again, I am a happy camper, but a bit skittish about a potential re-occurance.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
P.S. those temps and voltages have been steady for pretty much more than a year.
I clean out the case periodically, have good fan circulations and no fan or power failures.
