Had an interesting thing happen to my PC last night. Was just sitting here waiting for a web page to load on this way too slow dial up connection when the screen just went blank, totally blank like it was off. The PC was still on, fans still running, num lock light still on (although I could not toggle the num lock). The monitor was still on, could still see the little green power light (steady green, not flashing like it does when the monitor is on and the PC off so I think it was still getting a signal). I popped the monitor cable off the PC (then little green monitor light flashes, no signal) and pop it on my laptop, works just fine. Rehook the monitor to PC and still nothing. Power off PC and reboot and it is now working fine. This happened one other time when the PC was unattended, I didn't think anything of it and rebooted, worked fine. Not I'm starting to think I may have a problem starting. I'm running an Asus A7N266-VM board (on board graphics), AMD Athlon XP 2000+(retail heatsink and fan), 512 MB DDR 2100 memory, Win XP Pro, and a couple case fans. According to Asus Probe current temps under full load (running SETI in the background) CPU is running 55C and MB is 32C. Unfortunately Probe wasn't running or recording when it shut down so I don't know what those were when it died. Any ideas?
Thanks, Monty
