Hello all
What could this be?
I have a 19" Hanns-G screen, which will soon (in theory) become my second screen, but recently if left alone for say 8 hours i.e. overnight, in the first fifteen minutes of using it it will keep losing its video signal just like if I had switched it off, only it's still on. You need to switch it off then back on again and it 're-finds' the video, only to lose it again after a few seconds...rinse and repeat. This continues for fifteen minutes or so until eventually it just stops happening. There is a black screen but no message saying that the signal has been lost or anything.
Is this definitely the monitor, or could it also be the GPU (please no!)?
Any troubleshooting steps I can try?
Many thanks.
