I have a 24" Acer flat panel.

the problem is that every now and then the monitor would just turn off. The yellow power light would be on but the screen will be black. I turn off the monitor and switch it on again and the monitor will stay on for a few seconds and would go dead again.

The only solution seems to be to keep the monitor off for something like 5 to 10 minutes. After that it will work like a charm.

This happens every now and then but not very frequently.

Anyone know whats happening??
