    I use a huge 31" LCD Screen. But it can not take more than 1024x768. It says signal lost if i increase the resolution. Maybe you have the same problem.

    I pray that English isn't your first language.

    I'm guessing that prty carp 1 = pretty crappy one?

    Run PCWizard to find your specs.

    Try checking if you PC's earthing is proper. (ie) do you feel any shock when you run your comp for a long time?If so then it would really damage your system. Or just check the basics, if you have plugged in the VGA plug properly, lose connecting could be the problem
