baffling monitor power off?!

[betrayer_]

I have a 24" Acer flat panel.

the problem is that every now and then the monitor would just turn off. The yellow power light would be on but the screen will be black. I turn off the monitor and switch it on again and the monitor will stay on for a few seconds and would go dead again.

The only solution seems to be to keep the monitor off for something like 5 to 10 minutes. After that it will work like a charm.

This happens every now and then but not very frequently.

Anyone know whats happening??

I have the same monitor and what PSU wattage do you have becasue many of the problems with these monitors is nnot having enought power from the psu.

might be close depends on how many optical drives do you have good luck
