17 straight hours and you don't know why your monitor is overheating? How well ventilated is the room you are in? If you know anything about electronics, turn off and unplug and check it out. If not, just turn it off and walk away. If problem persists, call your tech person or get help from someone who knows more than you. good luck

1. Turn the damn thing off, see that it is getting good ventilation, bring forward you vacumm cleaner, and clean it good. Make sure it doesn´t have a nested powercable, thats bad biz.
2. Check you´re guarnatee (sorry about that one), monitors are supposed to be able to run failsafe for hundreds of hours.. YOu can get a new if you´re one starts to burn.. 3. If you´re afraid of it making bad noices hereafter, get a small tablefan for it. For your computer, get a better fan, or buy a insdie small fan, like one that can be placed in a PCI slot of your comp. One of thoose helped me get rid od a overheating graphics card.. Well some tips... And don´t turn the electricity off before it has cooled down... ------------------ WOLF WINS EVERY FIGHT BUT ONE, AND IN THAT ONE, HE DIES |

What a waste of time it was for me to go to tacoma mall.I thought it was supposed to be the shit so I caught the bus there. Counting the time between transfers it took over an hour to get there and south hill mall was better anyway!
