just got home from work and switched pc on,began surfing and suddenly my 17" crt began to rapidly switch itself on and off.could'nt do anything but switch off pc.fired it up again and the monitor appeared ok until windows log on screen then went into one again.
swopped monitor with a very ancient 15" crt and it worked fine.
put "faulty" monitor onto wifes pc and it worked ???
put it back on this pc and it began the rapid switching on and off immediately.
put it back on wifes pc and ran some stuff and it appeared ok.
once again on this pc and ............. no good.i then tried degaussing and switching it on and off and it worked after a few tries.
it seems to be ok now but i'm concerned as i got a big gaming night ahead and i dont want to do it on the 15".
any ideas ??? the "faulty" monitor is unbranded and about 8 years old.never caused any problems before.i degauss roughly once per month.
rig is...........

1 gig geil 3200
asus a8n sli premium
