Is this the Problem? ya playing on the computer and all of a sudden ya hear a 'Snap' and the scren goes black. Mine comes back on if i turn the thing off then on. I got a weirder problem (I bought my Mon used tho) every so ofter the'll be "explosions" of a white/shotgun pattern in the middle of the monitor. ie. 'snap' wwhite flash., Very Very scary to someone new to computers. I don't know exactly WHEN it happens but ut seems random. and i don't recall it doing it when i watch TV on my Monitor. (Why buy a TV when ya can get a broken VCR for a Tuner and have a GREAT Pic) ------------------------------- -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York ---------------------------------------------- Macintosh...
