My monitor has started switching itself off for no apparent reason!
Before I try swapping it for one off my old W98 PC, I'm posting to see
if anyone can advise whether it really does seem to be a hardware
rather than software issue? I have to press the switch twice to get it
back on again each time it happens.
FWIW, it first occurred while I was making a partition copy with Drive
Image 2002 yesterday (first time I've done that for nearly 2 years).
That process reboots into something called 'Caldera DR DOS' to do all
the copying.
I thought at first it was just some setting that powered off the
monitor after some period of 'inactivity'. But that's not the case, as
it has happened several times since while using the PC. This morning
it even happened while I was inspecting BIOS settings (another very
rare event for me).
This Mesh Athlon 1800 512 MB PC uses a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated please.
