ive built myself a new system last month/month before unfortunately. had a range of problems with components.... anyway all up and running.

my LCD monitor is from 2005, actually have 2 of the same brand.

for the past 3 weeks, my "main" LCD Monitor seems to be playing up...or its the port on the graphics card. I've changed the cabling, makes no difference, but dont know if its the graphics card, or LCD Monitor

basically at times, the monitor will go dim...then black out. I have to switch off the monitor then back on several times, or connect/disconnect the cable from the graphics card and then it seems fine until next time.

how can I find out where the problem is?
