Hey dudes
Yesterday and this morning I have been experiencing a problem with my desktop.
My computer stays on but the screen goes blank and never comes back on. I have to turn it off and turn it on agan. It's an Acer Aspire M5802.
Tech Support:
Did you try this: hit ctrl+alt+backspace it goes to the login screen it brings the screen back on.

besides the workaround from Tech Support you can push the on button for your computer which will cycle your system on and bring up the log on screen too.

It turns itself off when I install Windows and watching YouTube videos. Could it be a graphics card or power supply issue?

I have tried my old Dell monitor but I still have the same issue. The PC stays on and the screen shuts off. |

Turn off Hibernate and set the power settings to never turn off the monitor. Then you manually turn off the monitor.

It's not a hibernating issue because it does it without Windows, also I have to keep logging into all my websites. |

o i c...when did this start?
when you start your computer do you have a monitor, and if so for how long?
is your video card dual head? if so plug the monitor into the other head. i have seen where the vga or dvi end of a cable is to heavy and over time dislodges the solder from that head to the point of working shortly then going dark.

My video card is Nvidia Geforce GT200. It shows up perfectly at the moment but when I start watching YouTube videos it randomly goes blank.

No, only have that one and I can play games and videos from my mdd. Note from Admin:
I don't think we'll find a solution on this matter very soon!

For now: Topic closed.
