Spoiler

How do I fix?

Have your tried messing with your cable/trying another/ taking it out and putting it back together

 

[Drakon]

Yep, and no luck.

 

[black_dust]

Then its either your connection on either end is ****ed (bent pin?) Or your graphics card is on the way out, you could test another monitor on your system? see if its defo the monitor

I switched monitors, and am currently using my girlfriend's monitor, and things are fine. I had a regular, bulky one that worked fine, but I wanted to use a LCD.

I wanted to Google it to see what the problem was, but I had no idea how to define it, since this is the first LCD I have owned.

Are you using the same cable to attach your GF's monitor to you PC?

 

[Kable24]

Can you switch the cabling from say an analog (serial) connection to a digital (dvi) connection? try that. Looks like the monitor is going bad. Reseat the video card.

 

[Drakon]

No, but the problem is moot now--the monitor is dead. It won't even turn on.

Thanks all.

If its under warranty still take that sucker back, ive never experienced a problem like that on flat screen VDUs

Nah, it was kind of a gift from a friend. Well, in the manner that "We don't need these anymore, take them or we're gonna trash them" can be considered a gift.

Well if you aren't out of pocket from it... easy come easy go?

Pretty much, yeah. I'm not too worried about it---I just can't stand being unable to figure out a problem.
