anyone ever had this happen- your computer randomly restarts, then when it boots up, your monitor is all screwy?? you "degauss" your monitor from it's little control panel, and everything is fine again?? i always wondered what that "degauss" thing was for...now i know.
I had this conversation (over the phone, no less) the other day: Friend: "My monitor is blueish in the corner, and has a green spot in the middle." Me: "Take the speaker away from the monitor." Friend: "There are no speakers near the monitor." Me: "Take the speaker away from the monitor." Friend: "I swear, the speakers are 5 ft away...." Me: "Okay, then, what is next to your monitor?" Friend: "My subwoofer... OOOOOhhhhhhh. Thanks." <click>
I wish...but the prices are falling so fast that I don't mind waiting!!! You totally called that one! Ha! Every week I pull out the best buy and compUSA fliers to look...hehe - I wish I could short 'em!! The monitor that went nuts on me this AM isn't that old - it's about one year. It's a 17" "Samtron" that I got at best buy for $90 after rebate, so it's definitely served me well. But what I can't figure out is how it made the computer restart?? I don't have any speakers within 3 feet...very strange stuff...
