View, CA Lines: 15 I bought a 12mHz AT clone system recently. It came with a Orchid EGA and color monitor, 640k RAM, 40mB HD, a 1.2mB and a 360K floppy drive. I can't figure out what seems to be the problem but the monitor blanks out on me once in a while. The program I was running was still running (I guess), because it responded (at least for the sound) to the keyboard command I keyed in. The only way to solve this problem right now for me was to reset the system. It killed me when I was in the process of some transaction. Is there anybody who can tell me what I can do to solve the problem? Please reply to me for any information on this, thanks. -------- Theodore
