Not sure if LCD or Videocard problem.. HELP!

[j3ffry]

Good day guys!

Just got my newly replaced LCD.

Just have one problem though. Don't know particularly if it's because of the LCD or the VideoCard..

The problem goes this way..

I'm playing for about an hour and what will happen is the monitor will just turn off and on and off and it will go that way forever. But I noticed that the CPU is still working, fans are ok, all is OK but the monitor is off.

Now, what I will do is force shut down the CPU and after 5mins turn it on again and there you go, all is fine but it will suddenly go off again after hours of playing..

what could be it guys?

Thank you very for your help!

Specs:

Videocard= Inno3d 6600 vanilla
PSU= TASK 500watts brand new
CPU= Intel 2.8 with HT lga775
Monitor= Viewsonic VX2025

Still the misery goes on.. :(

Last night I tried watching dVD's on it and I encountered 0 problems..

So might be the videocard then..

Does the monitor power off when this happens, or is power still on.

If monitor powers off, it is likely to be the culprit. Check video card and cpu temperature.

There have been issues in the past with Viewsonic LCDs doing the rapid power cycle thing, so it may in fact be defective.

Try the monitor on another computer and see if it does it?
