Monitor trouble - Manu - 2009-04-19

Ok... so I have this monitor since at least 3 years and it had worked fine so far, but last week it became weird and I can't use it anymore.
The problem? Around 5 seconds after the welcome screen it goes all black, but it's not in stand by mode, it's on. If I turn it off and then on again, the image shows for like 5 seconds and goes black again.

Any idea on what could be wrong? I'm sure it's not the computer cause I tried it on 3 computers already and same thing happens in all of them.

Your "monitor trouble" sounds like it's being caused by faulty video drivers so here's something that you can try:

 Spoiler
If the above doesn't work as is, before you delete the existing display adapter(s) in Safe Mode, turn off System Restore by checking the "Turn off System Restore" checkBox in the System Restore tab of the System Properties dialog box and clicking the "Apply" button. Once that is done, proceed with the steps 2-8 and re-enable System Restore when finished.

I'm not sure that you'll have any problems with the method I listed in the spoiler; however, be advised that disabling System Restore deletes all pre-existing restore points on your computer.

Good Luck and Best Regards,
SwordTM

Unless your computers all had similar video cards, it sounds like your monitor is having hardware failure.
