I have Windows 10
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
Acer Monitor AL2216W
I have been back and forth with symptoms as to whether it's the card or the monitor. I have run a diagnostic on my video card and it seems to be fine.
This is a run down of today's symptomsm which is pretty common lately when I wake up the computer in the AM.
NOTE ...once the monitor is on, it stays on with no problems. ONLY twice over a month ago did the screen flash on and off once or twice while I was using it. Never again since then.
We don't have a diagnostic that will really help in this situation.
Honestly, I would suspect the monitor first here. The video card will generally do some other things like artifact or overheat and crash before this type of failure. Is it possible to get a monitor from a friend or family member just to test? Or, take your monitor over to a friends PC and ask him to try it.
