Westinghouse Lighting Two
Monitor turns on for a half a second then turns off?
Like the title says, every time I turn on my monitor it stays on for like half a second, (just enough time to see the screen) then the screen goes blank after that with the green light still on near the power button. This just start happening randomly, I did nothing at all. Change the hardware, messed with a bunch of programs, or messed with the tower, nothing. This just started happening randomly one day. I have two monitors, the same model, and they appear that nothing has happened to them at all. I'm running a pc with a 2 Nvidia 8600 GTS's linked together with two Westing House LCM 20v5 http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/westinghouse-lcm-20v5-flat/4505-3174_7-31851278.html
What is the problem with this and whats going on?
If only one monitor is shutting of then it could be a bad capacitor in that monitor, which you'd have to get repaired if it's still under warranty (or just replace it if not; monitors are cheaper to replace than repair).
If it's happening to both then first confirm that you can get a normal BIOS boot screen and Windows splash (text-only mode and 8-bit VGA). You can also test booting in Safe Mode or VGA mode (press F8 when you first get the Windows splash screen with the progress bar). If so then you have a spontaneous driver or configuration problem. Try booting with Last Known Good Configuration, on the F8 boot options menu.
If that doesn't work, then uninstall the drivers in Safe Mode and reboot in Normal Mode (you might need to temporarily remove your slave video card). You can then reinstall your drivers and reconfigure SLI and dual-heading. Create a Restore point before you start moving away from default settings. That way you can reset things if it happens again.
It's *possible* that both monitors have failed the exact same way at the exact same time, but the odds are so incredibly long you might win the lottery first.
