Subject: Tech: PC goes black then reboots - unasked
This past week my monitor has suddenly gone black without provocation on my part, that I know of. The first time it didn't come back up until I'd turned it off at the tower, then started it back up. That happened once. Since then, it's happened about three times, each of those times it has rebooted itself. No warnings, no reports, nothing.

The only thing I can think of that I've done differently was copy a ton of files to the Recovery drive instead of the external. I realised what I'd done when it kept warning me the D drive was getting low on memory and removed them to the external and thought maybe that had caused the problem, but here it is, come back again.

I have all of my updates installed, virus check, ad aware and all of that running regularly and have kerio firewall, so I don't think it is any of that variety. Of course, who am I to know?

Any of you have some idea and/or advice?

Thanks,

kat
