RE: comp screen
Maybe you have your monitor set to turn off after 5 mins of non-activity.

Check this at Control Monitor>Power Options.

RE: comp screen
I don't know if this is the case but your pc/monitor might be overheating.

P.S. Don't Double Post.

RE: comp screen
Did it happen when you tried to run a certain program?
If you did, it may have tried to change to a resolution not supported by your monitor.

RE: comp screen
First, if it just shuts down randomly, it's probably overheating; check to see if it's hot to touch, if so, buy a new monitor and ditch it, otherwise you'll have a fire hazard. Second, quit with the random :spam:!
