Monitor Just Shuts Off??

I have a 1 slot that originally had a 19" monitor and now has a WG 25K7193 monitor. I have had it for about three months, it worked great for about two months and out of no where it started shutting down. It will be fine for the first ten minutes and then it instantly shuts off, the game is still playing just no picture. I can turn it off for about thirty seconds and then back on and it will go for another five to ten minutes. Any help would be appreciated.

You may have a mositure problem. I have got alot of PC monitors that will shut off if they get moisture build-up in them. Sometimes, one of the worst culprets can be fish tanks.

hope this helps

Most likely it is a cap problem or a solder joint problem...

Some monitors have a high voltage protection circuit that will shut things down if overvoltage problems (which cause the CRT to emit X-Rays) or stabilization problems occur in the high voltage circuits.

I'd recap and fix bad solder joints on the monitor. It's a standard answer that fixes 95% of the problems.
