Thread: My Computer

Ok, the monitor is not the computer. The monitor is the screen. Is the computer not coming on or is it just the monitor. Because monitors do go bad and can be replaced rather inexpensively nowadays. My next question is do you have a surge protector your computer, monitor and printer is plugged into?

Turning off the monitor while leaving on the CPU may not be the best routine. Logging off properly should shut off the monitor, too...and leave data more safe.

The operative word being "before". What benefit is there in leavind the unit on all the time? Driver motors running, fans running, current going through all those circuits...something's bound to wear out sooner than if you turned it off while not in use. If you owned an automobile, would you leave it running all the time?

Good point CD, it tells you plainly when not using, cut the monitor off, it will last longer.

I'm not just talking about the monitor, I mean the whole thing.

I don't know what happend. It was one day last week when we had alot of wind and rain; It sounds like what happen to my computer. The mother board probably got hit by lightening. I pray that you find someone that will sell you a computer cheap or give you one. I was blessed enough to buy one from a co- worker at work.

What sort of sentences? What is it telling you to do. If it's not online it can't be "links". Have you tried what I stated? Shutting everything down and unplugging it until the light on the back goes out? Then plugging it in and turning it back on? I am trying to be helpful.
