Monitor won't stay on!!
I have a problem with my monitor.. When it is turned on, it will stay on for about 3 seconds and then go blank.. I will turn if off and then it back on, and it will do the same thing... I hooked up another monitor to my computer and everything worked fine with that one... Does anyone know what could be wrong with my monitor? Do I need to get a new monitor??

I'm not sure that the monitor model is... On the back it says Rev. A00 and I believe it is a 17 inch flat panel. It was made in 2003.. If that helps any. Not sure what the video card is, but I have tried the monitor on 3 different systems and it wouldn't work with any of them. The operating system is XP. The cable that came with it is VGA.. And that is the only cable I have used with it, in the 2 years that I have owned it.1083

What monitor model?
What video card?
What connections have you tried (VGA or DVI)?
What operating system?
