Monitor keep shutting off, and messing up?

Question

My monitor keep turning black (as if it's shut off) and at time messes the picture up with lines running though it or moving the screen around. How do I stop it from doing this?

Answer 1

Unless the problem is in the video card in your computer, which is not all that likely, your monitor is going bad and will need to be replaced! If you have another computer in the house, or a friend who is willing to loan you a monitor, you can check to see if the problem is in the video card by switching monitors!
