W walterfano Distinguished Jun 17, 2011 1 0 18,510 Jun 18, 2011 #1 I have a Gateway 500X desktop. When I power the computer on, the monitor goes into power saver mode and then goes black. I tested the monitor on another desktop and it works OK there. Does this mean I need to replace the video card? Thanks.
