Monitor problem or not ..?

[alavahalf]

I have a NEC monitor which is a few years old..MultiSync LCD 1970nx.
Every now and then (2/3 times per session) the screen goes black and the power light has gone out. If I wait a few seconds it turns itself on again and runs fine until the next time.
I have re-seated the graphics card..
Checked and secured the VGA cable in both the card and monitor..

Is it time to look for a new monitor..?

Might be power supply cable?

Try changing the monitor power cable first, if it's still the same then new monitor.

I'm sure I've got one in my spares box ..will dig it out, and give it a try.

Try with an other monitor to know.
