I am thinking that possibly the monitor is going out. It was not cool, just not real hot anymore. After about 15 minutes, I could put my hand on the top of the case at the back.
And, when I felt of the top of the case (it is a thin upright case), it was so hot close to the back that I couldn't put my hand on it! However, the monitor itself is not hot.Īfter the monitor went to sleep for the 3rd time, I unplugged the computer from the wall. While this sleeping and rebooting was going on, I noticed a "smell" coming from the tower. (We live in Indiana, and have bad storms.) The woman had always turned the computer "off and on" every time she was using it until I told her about 2 months ago to leave it on unless she was going to be gone over night, or if a storm was coming. I check the properties of the monitor, and it is set to never go to sleep. Then, after about 10 minutes, it went to sleep again! This was after I unplugged and replugged in wall that it would come on again. I waited a bit, then tried to turn it on again.
So, it does! The processor continues to run. The computer boots up XP fine, then after about 10 minutes, the monitor goes blank and says it is going to sleep. The computer is an HP, and is 1-2 years old, I think. I have been helping an older (94 year old) woman with her computer.
