BenQ FP241WZ problem

[bluemistywaters]

Hi,

I have noticed a strange problem with my 24" BenQ,
When i press the on/off button on the side of the monitor my
pc does a reset? It was ok in the past?
I have another weird fault where the screen goes black at random intervals.
example> today went black 4 times for about 4 seconds each time... after that was fine.
Is it my GPU or montitor at fault ? or anyting else?

cheers

Yes the USB lead is in and a USB headset connected to the monitor,
Been like that since i got it but the fault is more recent.
But i might try taking the USB lead out to see if that helps.

The blacking out is very random, Its done it 6 times today for a few seconds each time and then been on for 6 hours solid and no problems.
I am going to swap my monitors arround to see if i get the same problem on the other pc, and if same problem I will give Benq a call.

Hi, I've been looking to get a 24", and the BenQ had made it on to my shortlist and I was poised to buy, so I read your post with a bit of alarm. Just done a quick google and it seems this might be a problem with this particular monitor. Also some suggestion (not confirmed for definite) that it might be to do with an incompatibilty with ATI cards: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1030933693

When I googled I came up blank and did not see that forum,
So it seems its a common thing.

I am on a pair of ATI X1900XTX

going to contact Benq... see what they say
