It may seem stupid but have you checked the cables?

Just the screen or the computer locks up? try pressing Caps lock see if its froze.

also try removing the gfx card runthe gold contacts put it back in.

I see you are running Windows Vista! Have you tried updating your graphic card drivers with the official Vista drivers on nvidia's website?

Also, if you have just started to have these problems since updating/changing graphic card drivers i'd suggest you "roll back" any of these changes.

All i did was transfer everything into my new case. idont see how that would delete the driver for my graphics card:S

Ill try and update it anyway :chrongue:

There might be a broken connection somewhere. It could be in the cable, in the computer-end plug, in the monitor-end plug/entry, somewhere inside the monitor. I wouldn't but a new one without getting this one checked.

RE: Screen goes Blank by Kenji on 09-23-2006 at 06:18 PM

meh, its about 7 years old anyway.. i was gonna get a new one instead of a case and cpu... ill just have to save  up for a new one :sad:
