Hello, just wondering if anyone could tell me where i might find the MONITOR REFRESH RATE to see if my monitor is set too high or low because it keeps shutting off.
Thankyou

Which OS?

Win 9x...Right-click on an open area of your desktop and select Properties/Settings/Advanced then select the Adapter tab.

Other things to check for this type of problem:

Power connections, display adapter driver update and power management settings (in the Control Panel and in BIOS).

Hi Thanks for replying. I am running windows 98. What should I set the refresh rate at? adapter default, optimal, 56HZ, 60HZ, 72HZ, 75HZ, 85HZ?
Thanks for any help you can give me

Optimal usually works fine...if you pick one manually, go for 75hz or higher...

When all else fails, read the instructions.
