KoolDude, Is that your monitor shutting down or the PC itself? According to what you've written, it seems like your PC's got heated !! It's summer.. boy!!! Pull the power cord out, check and see if you've got dust around the cooling fan. That's a major cause of the machine overheating. If it's not the PC, and is just the monitor that's acting funky, go to the monitor setting and turn the power saving option off; hope you know how to get there via control panel, or right clicking the My Computer icon. ~@~
