Hi All.
My puter is a compaq presario/win xp/etc.
After a few years my puter had slowed down to a snails pace. Last month I upgraded from 512 to 1 gig ram. Then installed most of clary utilities,etc. Ran them all, and now puter is running like the day it was new I am one to leave my puter running 90% of the time. Well, in the last month when I have got up in the morns,3 times the monitor was black screen, meaning off! No matter what I tried it would not come back on, although the puter is still running. So , I had no option but to manually shut computer down, which I really don't like to do, but had no choice. I turn puter back on, and it re boots, etc and runs fine.
I opened control panel this morning and checked power settings,etc. The monitor was set to sleep in 20 mins, but has always woke up upon moveing the mouse. So I just set all settings to off. I will still continue to run puter as normal as I always do. But , if the monitor shuts down again in the future, can anyone give me any ideas of where else to look for the problem??? Every few days I do a registery clean, and a Defrag also.
I would appreciate any input on the possible problem, and other things I may check. I hate to do a re install at this time, but I do hate to shut the puter down manually, just to make the monitor re usable again.
Thanks for any input..
