Firstly, when I mention bright screen in this post, I mean where most of the
screen is filled with a white background. Yesterday, my 19" Proview monitor
would get waves towards the bottom of the screen every time that I would go
into a screen that was bright. I shut the monitor off, and went to bed
thinking that might clear the problem. Today, I fired it back on, and the
same thing. I decided that I would disconnect it and hook up a different
monitor (a Dell 15" I believe) to see if it was doing the same thing. I got
on it, and it wasn't doing the same thing. (It didn't have waves on bright
screens.) Eventually, however, the screen did a quick flash (like when you
turn off a TV) and the whole monitor shut off on its own. (The power LED
was not lit or anything.) I decided alright, it's a spare and old monitor,
so it probably died. Hooked back up my Proview 19". Worked fine for a few
minutes. Got on a bright screen (I went to My Computer). Then, the waves
came back. I decided, fine, I'll go on anyway. Started to begin navegating
to one of my folders (still on a bright screen mainly.) and suddenly, the
screen went black. A second later, the power LED turned off on my monitor.
I immediately hit the switch on my surge protector and shut the whole system
off. Am I just killing monitors today or is something seriously wrong?
BIOS beep on my computer indicates that everything's fine (or at least it
thinks that my computer internally is fine).
