Help my LG monitor is stuck on power safe mode.

[Guest]

Well I was playing Minecraft, very friendly, killing noobs. Then suddenly, my screen turns black. I was like, oh very normal. I restarted my screen and pc. No difference. Then i was like heck, what now? I switched cables, turned out and off everything, even cleaned my pc and monitor with compressed air, still nothing!

When i turn my screen on, i see something for a second and then it's black screen. After 5 seconds i see my desktop and "DVI" is in the corner of my screen. Then the screen go's back to power safe mode. Whatever i do, it keeps black screen. I have switched multiple cables. I know the problem is in my screen cause my power supply in my pc + my video card are good. I have been using this pc for 7 month's and suddenly now my screen go's off.

Specs for as i know:
Monitor: LG FLATRON W2253V - PF
Video card: GeForce, will update when know which version.

sounds like the monitor went bad, see if you can bum another monitor from a friend or something and see if it works fine, if so, then your monitor needs replaced, if a second monitor acts the same, then it sounds like your video card is going bad.

Driver problem? how do i install drivers on a not working screen? how do i see what i am doing

I suggested a friend's monitor or some easy to access temporary monitor just for testing, because I've seen a dying video card do a very similar thing as it died, so the monitor was to test which one was the problem.

But if you can see the screen normally for about 1 second after you turn it on, then i would guess that the monitor is the problem, but that is still just a guess at this point
