I'm very frustrated and unsure how to resolve this problem.
I cannot recreate the problem, it's intermittent and there is nothing that seems to cause it that I can tell. This added to my initial idea that it was the video card, but my concern is that that shouldn't be locking up the keyboard as well. I have opened the case and made sure all fans are working and blown out dust, and I moved the monitor cable to the second port on the video card, and this is still happening.Īlso, I have noticed on power up lately that for a split second the video on the initial blue Windows loading screen will sometimes be incomplete, the bottom part black just for a second or two longer than the rest, and once it looked like tearing on the side. They keyboard is connected to a USB port. I am running Vista 64, with the following hardware:Īnd one each WD & Seagate HDs (cannot remember models but don't think it's important here).Įverything is about 2.5 years old, except the video card which is about 8 months old. They could not, and that is when I realized my keyboard was locking up as well, I couldn't turn on caps lock, etc. I was using a chat program with push to talk, and talking with friends at the time, and I asked if they could hear me after the monitor lost signal. At first I thought it was the video card going bad, but today I realized that the keyboard was locking up as well. With no warning, my monitor with go dark and pop up a no signal message. After the first time it was a couple of weeks until it happened again, then a week, then a few days, now it's just been two days apart.
Nothing has changed on my system, no new hardware. This started to happen about a month ago and has been getting progressively more frequent.
