Monitor loses input intermittently…

I am having an issue with the graphic output on my machine - the problem is intermittent with no pattern to it occurring. Whilst the machine is booted up the monitor just goes blank with a message saying lost input. I have replaced the graphics card and have just completed a fresh installation of XP and still the input to the monitor is lost every now and then.

My questions is :

What else could be causing this to occur? I have swapped out the graphics card and that hasn't done anything.

Any help here will be much appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance,

Chris

If you already changed the graphics card and re-installed XP then it certainly sounds like the monitor is at fault.

Perhaps if you could loan a monitor? this would give you conclusive evidence either way.

I recently repaired a HP 17inch TFT with a known batch fault, doing exactly what you describe.

Thanks for the advice - I might have a look then for some known issues with my monitor type (LG1715S 17" TFT).

Cheers,
