My monitor keeps turning itself off (and I mean off)about ten minutes after I launch any type of game or multimedia : it can be a divx film, mp3 or a recent game like candc generals, freelancer or unreal2. I've already updated all my drivers (geforce4 card, via motherboard, liteon monitor), flashed by bios up to the latest version, downloaded the latest version of directx (9.0a)and even tried a clean reinstall of xp +sp . programs such as word or excel don't seem to be effected and a nortons virus scan doesn't seem to bring up anything. Any ideas or do I have to cart off my unit to be repaired? thanx
