Monitor shutting down

[RoseZalutations]

Hey there.
I've bought a new computer lately (P4 3.06Ghz, WinXP pro).
I guess my problem is something with the BIOS but I don't really know. the problem is: when I'm on the computer the monitor is suddenely shutting down without no seemable reason (for example, when playing pool@games.yahoo). I belive some setting is making the monitor shutting down, and if I press the shut-down button on the keyboard it will shut down my computer.. I don't really understand what is happening, but please don't just suggest turning the monitor on cause it isn't possible..

thanks for anyhelp!! :amazed:

Did you try plugging the moniter into a differant outlet? Did you build the system or buy it? Did the moniter come with it?

I bought it, I had the monitor before (mag innovision), I don't have a diffrent outlets.. it also can be a g.card (Radeon 9700) problem, I guess...
thanks for helping.

Did you try differant drivers? Differant resolution? Maybe the moniter can't handle that video card

it's Mag innovision 796FD 17''.. but that's not likely, I've played "Enter the Matrix" "Unreal II" " Harbinger" and it all worked perfectly fine.. do you think the monitor itself is really the problem?

Do you have another one that you can test? Do you have your bios set for AGP?
