Greetings,
I have an LCD monitor that I am plugging into a desktop computer running Windows 7 Ultimate. The video card is an onboard Intel one. When I plug the screen into the computer, it will come on and look normal for about 3-4 seconds, then it will shut off and stay black. If I unplug it from the computer and plug it back in again, it will come on again just like before and then shut off. While the screen is working, I can hear a soft sound like a fan on the back of the monitor but I wasn't aware that LCD screens had fans. When the screen goes black, the sound stops.
Is the monitor toast or does anyone have an idea? I tried uninstalling the video driver then letting it reinstall itself. I will also look for an updated driver.
Oh yeah, and I am using that computer right now. It works fine on an old CRT monitor which makes me think the LCD is broken.
Thanks!
