I run a P4 2.7Ghz on an Intel 915. Everything was running fine, but the CPU temperature was wandering around 65-78C of late. So, i was about to replace the thermal paste soon.
Yesterday, while working on the PC, the system restarted by itself. I thought it was due to over heating. But the monitor's power LED turned green for 3 seconds and went back to orange. Now, when i start the PC, the same thing happens. No display, LED is green for 3 seconds and goes back to orange. But, if i disconnect the cable from the CPU, and switch on the monitor, it turns on. If the connector is plugged into the CPU, it acts like it was put in standby, irrespective of the CPU being turned on or off.
Please help me people :huh:
