Hi there. Just turned on my PC the other night to find the monitor constantly switching to power save mode - as though there was no connection. When the monitor does show me a picture it's not quite right ie. closed screens don't dissapear properly, layers seem to integrate and virtually everytime i click on something the screen dissapears.
I have to say it's highly infuriating and i don't understand it seeing as nothing has changed from the day before where everything was working normally. The PC is still under guarantee but i was hoping to see if it might be something stupidly obvious first. I have checked all connections several times, ran a virus check and tried a different monitor. The problem still exists.
Is it possible there is a problem with the power chord? Or is it likely to be something more to do with the hardware side of things?
I'll be very grateful to anyone who can offer any help.

Check your power options:
Click Start
Settings
Control Panel
Power Optons
You say that the day before everything was working normally -- quick, go for a system restore. You don't mention what kind of PC you have. I have a Dell. When I click on Help and Support, "restore point" is on the first screen.

A unfastened/warm connection might reason Your visual reveal unit to alter on and of at erratic durations. this might tremendously much incredibly harm Your visual reveal unit. Plug something else like a study lamp into the flexibility socket to verify whether that is working correct. i'm assuming that Your visual reveal unit would not get ability out of your laptop's ability furnish. let us know in case you hit upon the difficulty. good good fortune.
