I am beyond annoyed. A few weeks ago, my monitor started taking breaks at random intervals and refusing to display an image. The computer was on- thanks to keyboard shortcuts I could shut it down without the benifet of seeing what I was doing- and the monitor was on and reciving a signal- it just wasn't displaying an image.
We took the monitor to the store where we had purchased it, where they plugged the monitor up to another machine and deduced it was working.
We then went to Best Buy, and they told us that if the monitor was working, it had to be the graphics card. So we brought it in. They stuck in a GeoForce 2 and we went home. Well, it worked fine for about a week, then it started wigging out again. We brought it BACK to Best Buy where they determined that it was now a case of insufficent RAM- we only have 64. So I told them to upgrade to 128, which they reccommended.
A few days later, I called about it status, and they said it was dead. Apparently adding the new RAM shocked the motherboard. A week later, we came back to pick it up and they told us a miracle-worker named Donna managed to fix it. Whoopee. We bring it home, it works. The next day, it works, and I spend twelve hours playing Civ, browsing the 'net, and working. This morning, SAME PROBLEM- no image. Anyone have an idea?
