I bought a Samsung SyncMaster SA700 from OCUK a few months ago. Within the last week it's started playing up.
When ALT+Tab between applications or multiple game sessions it occasionally won't display the next running game client or application and stays on a black screen. Initially I was able to get around this by turning the monitor off and on using the soft button on the front, but it won't even do that now forcing a hard reboot.
Additionally, if I leave the PC on overnight with the screen powered off at the soft button, when I try to switch it on again the following day it won't display anything, again forcing a reboot.
I'm confident that my PC is sending the data to the screen correctly, as this has happened with 2 different video cards - had a 4870 until Wednesday this week when it was replaced with a 7870 to the same effect.
Before I contact OCUK for RMA have any of you got any ideas what the issue might be?
