Kevin could a thermal issue develop from leaving it powered up overnight? I've left this PC on more frequently in the past month or so. Screen went into sleep mode (before it went permanently asleep) so I can't see leaving it on could actually have caused the failure but you got me to wondering. Here's the one I ordered: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sceptre-24-LED-Full-HD-1080p-Monitor-E248W-1920-Black/40718688 Have to admit I never heard of the brand but hey, I got the two year extended service plan with no deductible! Seriously though the price was right though shipping time on the website surely did change from "by Wed" to Friday. I'll live.

Where did you go Jon? Come back! (Hope its happy even if you never read this).

It's a very firmly wedged power supply. It doesn't jiggle you have to pull it straight out. I'm comfortable in believing the monitor to be the problem. Thanks.

Well taking input from the work pc, it didn't actually load any drivers - they are both Dells so maybe that's why. Anyway, same problem started right away. I can't find any other VGA cables my wife says we have so that's it I'm off to find a new monitor. thanks for the advice.

Considering how he was inspired by boogie-woogie artists I think Gene Harris fits in here.

One more question which is probably really silly: I hook in the monitor, first thing the work PC will do is look for drivers to install. This can't interfere with the other drivers installed for the work monitors, right?

thanks gents. I will move the monitor over to the work PC and plug that in tonight. Regarding better monitors I spotted an option at Walmart, list $150, price with free shipping $80. I think I paid about $130 five years ago and that was 19 inch flat screen this is 24 inch. And I also realized I have a video card sitting in the old, refurbished one that crapped out last Fall. So it should be pretty simple to replace that if this test doesn't determine that its a monitor problem.

So out of the blue my monitor, about 5-6 years old, is going dark on me. Power is on, no change to connections. Can't be a "sleep" mode thing its too damn fast. Only comes back if I pull the power supply plug and re-insert. And in seconds, black screen again. Anyone have this come up before? Or should I say, go down before? Am I stuck buying a new monitor? Or is there a card that is going bad? I bet for the same money I can get one much bigger than this but not money I want to spend right now. But the home PC has the new turntable connected so if I want to do any audio editing and disc burning I have to have a monitor. As always, thanks in advance!

So this deal isn't even done yet, some medical issue hold up. With the Sox luck he never opts out and they enjoy his crappy defense and decline years for the whole length of this misbegotten stupidity.

Isn't that "out of the frying pan, into the fire" when it comes to rough winters? I'm guessing there's family in Buffalo, or are you just allergic to Florida?

Haven't seen you in a while but hope it's a good one!

Good that means Wynton didn't hear about the heathen getting booked into Dizzy's and hustle Allen out of there.

How about Gregory Porter tribute to Nat? Has strings but was only last year however. https://www.amazon.com/Nat-King-Cole--Me/dp/B0753DBSFH?tag=capitrecor-20&ie=UTF8&linkCode=as2&ascsubtag=3a6c9cd1b78d00a904e736237b69f21a Or you can go to this page: http://www.bluenote.com/timeline Chose the "present" as time frame, and use the slider to flip thru every BN cover in chronological order.

Isn't this Robert Glasper?

Let me be the first to say it on this side of the pond:

Sorry I am still carrying a lot of butthurt over Jeter's gift of Stanton to the Yankees. Bowie Kuhn never would have let that shit stand.

Did not know this musician but impossible not to enjoy that track with Helm. RIP.

Hope its been good on the other side of the pond.

BARF.

Alright so at least you're meeting the definition of "tour". You know, two or more geographical locations.

Now hold on just a sec. Dizzy's is the Upper West side of Manhattan? My father had an apartment/office at 57th and 6th. My sister lives on West 89th street. If Dad worked in mid-town and my sister is unquestionably on the upper west side how the heck is Dizzy's the latter and not the former? In all seriousness break a leg tomorrow. In the figurative, show-business sense.

God I hope not. The Sox are desperate for a bat but he would be a disaster if signed at all. I'd rather go back into battle with what they have, and a healthy David Price in the rotation, then sign this guy. If he's put in the outfield, the best defensive outfield in baseball is broken up, someone cost-controlled and way more talented is dealt, and the man is a f-ing butcher in the field. Wrong side of 30, asshole for an agent. Never wanted them to go after him and I only hope someone else is stupid enough to give him the money Boras thinks he is worth or that he stays with the D-Backs or whoever he was with on some sort of inventive short-term deal that mlbtraderumors has been talking about for at least a week.
