((Monitor flicks off and on. Surge protector? Unsettling problem...))
How are you gentlemen!
It's been a while ^_^
Thanks for your help like 2 years ago, you helped me build an awesome system for the hubby!
Right now I have a problem where my monitor at random times turns itself off and right back on very quickly.
It's more than just a flicker.
It makes the full "turning on" sound when it does this, including the wavering screen adjustment before picture is normal again.
It sometimes happens multiple times in a row.
I had a ViewSonic 17" CRT that it was happening to. It happened so often and it was old, so I tossed it and got my brother's Gateway CRT 19" flatscreen. He upgraded. I heart 19" flat.
But it is happening to this one too.
Something makes me think it is power related, but nothing else in my computer seems to be acting weird.
EXCEPT: for a couple years now, when we turn the lights on in the room, the speakers make a crack noise. The speaker connections are kind of messed up though (need new ones but can't justify spending when they work good enough).
Can't tell if monitor flicks correspond with appliances turning on or off.
Anyone know what is going on????
Thanks, guys!
