| vu32, VU64, V enterprise 32 | disconnect monitor, computer turns off... About 4 days ago, this computer started behaving erratically on many accounts but this is the most puzzling. Attached to the machine I have (or had) a small touchscreen (Xenarc 702TSV). The screen was the first item to have problems; one of the ribbon cables on the circuit board came loose and that was the beginning of its demise. During troubleshooting of the screen, I disconnected it by simply removing the vga cable from the connector on the screen and the computer turned off unexpectedly. Thinking it might have been an anomaly or just a coincidence, I repeated the disconnect after Windows rebooted. Same thing. I used three seperate different monitors. Same thing. As soon as I plug the vga cable back in the computer comes roaring back to life, albeit completely rebooting. I cannot find anything hardware-related that this would be due to, so I'm wondering if there's anything in software that this could be due to? Some other info: running Vista Ultimate 32, 4 gig ram, ASUS P5EVM-HDMI, a solid state drive, and some other stuff. |
