Wondering if anyone can GIVE me a hand with this problem. It's what a friend of MINE used to call the black screen of death! My monitor screen is blank, if I turn the monitor off and then back on the light is green for a bit then goes orange. If I turn off my computer and the monitor, the computer will turn on and then the monitor will click back to the orange light. When I restart my computer there is no beep when it starts up like usual. Please let me know if this is something I can fix myself, any help would be appreciated!There isnt anything wrong with your screen, its just telling you if it is on standby or on (green=on / orange=standby)Sounds like a loose connection to me. Check the back of your computer for a wire with a blue CONNECTOR and two twist-knobs sticking out. Tighten this if needed. Also, check the connections on the monitor itself; on some monitors it plugs in both sides (as opposed to being soldered on and impossible to remove) and either one could be loose.

Your friend was probably referring to the Blue screen of death, or BSOD. For more information on the BSOD, Click Here.This has been addressed several times (again) just this week. Do a FORUM search.
