My husband is running Windows XP. For the past three or four months, he
will be browsing or writing email and all of a sudden his screen goes blank
and gray. The monitor is still on and working but there is nothing there.
He can reset or reboot and everything comes back. At one time we thought it
was going into hibernation because it would be working when he left it but
when he came back an hour later the screen would be blank. We checked the
power settings and hibernation and sleep mode are not turned on. When it
started doing it while he was working on it we knew it wasn't hibernation.
Nothing makes it come back except restarting the computer. It's not the
monitor because it looks like it does when the monitor is on but the
computer is off. It has that gray glow. We thought it might be the new
memory we installed but we removed it and reinstalled the old memory to see
if it did it with the old memory. It did. When it's working it's working
great but when it gets ready to quit it just quits. Any ideas?
