22 inch View Sonic running on XP Pro thru All-in-wonder tuner card card is good. Love this monitor BTW BUT it goes to black screen several times per day. Turning it off then on will temporarily fix it (sometimes) other times it will run all day and not go to black. Any suggestions? mobile ph, 503 9548657

Hello,

This model has a know issue with the power supply. Check out our repair guide at: www.ccl-la.com click the monitor repair link and then go to page 2, its listed under the Wetinghouse LCM-22W3 monitor, they use the same power supply - DAC-19M009. If you can solder then you should be able to do the repair yourself. If you don't want to do the repair we do offer a repair service for $35 plus return shipping.

I hope this helps, If so please rate our solution.

Sounds like the computer is shutting it down and the monitor is fine. Check for viruses then check your settings in device manager for the screen saver and power down (screen off) options.

it happened may b due to inproper power supply.So check the monitor data cable & other connections also.

Your monitor is fine, the problem here is with your computer, and sounds like a virus. Time to competely reinstall windows, or have a tech look at the computer.

Turn Off auto-adjustment screen

try another working monitor on your computer, if it works good than you know you have a bad monitor. If the other, working monitor does not work, than you know the problem lays with the computer. That could be a bad video card, or failing RAM.

Hi,

Download and install the correct driver for the monito as well as the deiver for your video card, if the video is onboard, you may need the motherboard and AGP driver as well.
You will probably need to boot in Safemode to do this.
Good Luck.
