Speak for yourself - still down here. It went down in the middle of a purchase for me, too :( edit: now up (23:38 PST).

I recently got the XFX XXX and the 97.92 drivers picked up the overclock automagically, so I'm thinking the "ban" is lifted.

My CRT recently started doing that. I had to power mine off for a while and then power it on again. Also, I had to power it off before powering it on or bringing the monitor out of "sleep" mode. Also, check cables - power & video - on the monitor, too.

IIRC, NEC is coming out with 22 and 26 (25.5) inch models soon.

Looks like a hardware problem to me, but I suppose it could be a driver issue. Has anything changed on your system (drivers, BIOS, etc.)?

I ordered mine on Friday as well. It arrived yesterday and it is a November manuf. date. Ah, well - that's what I expected. Maybe I got the last one....

It should, but it doesn't always. My last build had bad ram and I didn't get any beeps.

Depending on your case and where the NB is on the mobo, you may be able to use a Zalman NB heatsink. It just depends on airflow. For example, in one of my P180 cases, I don't have fan installed in front. However, there's plenty of airflow coming off of the vidcard's flower heatsink/fan to...

It's a VGA to BNC cable. I use one for my CRT. If you no longer have a monitor with BNC ports, you don't need it. You might be able to sell it on ebay. As far as converting it goes, if you're really good at wiring, using a break-out box, etc., then take a shot. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

edit: sorry, double-post

Unlikely. But, I'll be going on vacation for 2 weeks in a few months - I'll just send it in then. I would have waited if I could, but the monitor it's replacing is on it's last leg. This past Thursday it began having difficulty coming out of 'sleep' mode - it sounded like the thing had a...

Thanks - I just ordered one for my FP241W that should be here on Wednesday (from Newegg - I ordered on Friday).

Most monitors do have inf files, though. If there is one available for your monitor you should use it. I have noticed that monitors generally work and look better when you install the inf.

It's possible. Have you checked for a loose cable? Do you have another PC see if it will show something there? Does your video card have 2 ports on it so that you can try using the other one? Just some things to check.

Boot into Safe Mode - it forces the resolution to 640x480 at Windows startup. If that doesn't work, it's not an issue with too little vram or the card not handling the resolution. Have you tried a different DVI cable? I was reading over in the Benq FP241W thread about how the Benq cable is...
