Question Is my monitor going on the blinkity blink?

Hi chaps,

When I do about an hour or so's work at the 'puter', the monitor switches off whenever I start 'loading' the computer up i.e. I surf the net or cause the CPU to start working a bit hard, or change windows. I can switch it on again instantly, but as soon as I try and open a different window "tssschhhrrt" - off it goes. Annoying.

Now, it is about 8 years old, so I wonedered if it's on its final legs? I've checked for bugs, spyware, viruses etc etc and am heavily protected, so I don't think it's a 'bug'. I've also tried changing the refresh rate, but to no avail. All is OK however, if its left off for a while? Confusing..........

Any ideas would be appreciated


Regards

Mo

P.S If I have to change it, I'd like a dual flat panel setup. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated too.
