Monitor

[Brian Prior]

My monitor blanks out after 5 min of use. I have to cut my computer off and
than back on and it works fine?

Make sure video cable is plugged in securely.

Examine contact pins on video cable (both ends) - broken or bent?

Same problem in safe mode?

Same problem with a different monitor?

When monitor goes black, does computer go silent?

I'll try another monitor and see what happens.
