Computer help please!
Ok, so I got a new monitor about a month ago. Everything was working fine. I am running windows 98 second edition on my desktop. When I came home today the screen was frozen on the screen saver. I did a cold boot and the monitor no longer works! The light just blinks and blinks and blinks. I know it's not the monitor or cable because I plugged it into my laptop and the monitor came right up. Any suggestions?

Reseat the card in the slot, If you have a Gateway they had some major problems with the card becoming unseated. The cases they used were prone to flex and popping the card out. If fact if you have a Gateway that freezes alot, open the case and reseat the card, might help out.

If you have a Gateway, someone should shoot you.
