My Dell monitor keeps flashing to a black screen for a few seconds, then ultimately stays black, the green "on" light turns to yellow when this happens. I have to shut down my PC then re-start. Is my monitor dying?

Personally, I'd shut the PC down, disconnect and reconnect the VGA cable, then reboot the PC. Failing that, I can get hold of plenty of spare monitors.Fuck ebay, fuck paypal

Well, my mother-in-law fired up the computer this morning and this is the message she got:
device driver got stuck in infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or the driver programming incorrectly.
***STOP: OX000000EA (OX895CCECO, OXF78BECBC, OX00000001)
something about an error with file nv4_disp. The system did a dump of physical memory.
One of the tech's in my wife's office says it looks like something didn't get installed correctly. He is going to give us some instructions to use and said that it will take the computer back to the last good configuration.MakeAJazzNoiseHere: You kidding me?

That was exactly what was happening with my wife's. We ended up entering the 21st century and bought an LCD monitor. Still can't find it in myself to replace our old TVs though....."I would have banned you for taking part in hijacking and derailing a thread when you could have started your own thread about your own topic." - Unknown
