Hi!
I changed my PC and now if I have my PC on and I turn the monitor power on it will reset my PC!~
It doesnt happen with the old PC, does anyone knows why its doing that?
Tnx!
 
Try connecting the monitor to another line. You have to find a line that the pc is NOT running on. You may have to use an extension cord to do this. If you do connect the monitor to another line and all is well then it would probably mean you are using too much power on one line. In a home a series of plugs and light sockets are are connected together on one line. So you have to find which line your pc is on and then find another, separate line and plug your monitor in there.
