Why do you leave the PC on overnight? Is is actively doing something? What power options do you have configured? Is is going in to sleep or hibernation mode? As it works after a reboot, I doubt that the monitor is faulty.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

Ditto.
Check the power settings for the monitor. Possibly set to turn off after "X" minutes.

That's not true at all. There are power spikes when switching on any piece of electrical equipment but they are instantaneous and the total energy in those spikes is negligible. I think you'll find that leaving a pc on overnight is far more costly than switching your computer on and off (even excessively)."She is quite the oddball.

To say nothing of the fact it's using electricity, thus creating CO2 emmissions and ............................ costing you money.0
