Hey guys.
Got a Hanns-G HW191D 19" widescreen secondhand today. It works great and no dead pixels. I have connected it to my computer using a vga cable, with the end connecting into the computer using a vga to dvi connector.
No every so often, maybe every 10 mins, the screen goes completely black for a second or two and then comes back on. I'm not sure whats causing this, anyone know what might be causing it? I have checked the cables including the power cable and they are all connected securely.
Whilst the screen goes black the computer is still running fine (games continue to play, music, etc) so its just the screen thats going black as far as I can tell.
Also it did it more frequently while I was playing Oblivion. I don't think it happened whilst playing Counter-Strike: Source.
I'm running the monitor in it's optimum resolution of 1440x900 @ 60hz.
If anyone could tell whats wrong or how I could fix it then I'd be very grateful
apart from that, great monitor!
Edit: It hasn't done it for a while now... I was running at 75hz, then I read that theres no need to so switched it down to 60hz. Maybe that was the cause of the problem? Argh, sorry if it was, pointless thread?
Edit2: oh, no, just did it again whilst in 60hz
Edit3: just remembered I hadn't installed the .inf file for the monitor. Hopefully that'll fix it. Sorry for the useless topic if it does fix it. I'll keep you posted xD
Edit4: It just did it again :/ what could be causing this?
Edit5: I just watched an episode of Lost and it happened about 7 or 8 times throughout the 40 min long episode. Anybody?
Edit6: Just became unusable for a while. Playing counter strike and it just went black more often. Then just went off completly, and power light went orange as if it was in standby. Got a fan on the monitor to cool it see if it makes a difference, its working now at least. Faulty monitor perhaps?
Ordered a dvi cable, should be here on the 10th hopefully.
