    HPoirot, No offense meant, none taken! I guess I did sound like an idiot...so, I will try to emulate you and find the power supply, since it sounds from what I read here and elsewhere that it is an inevitable problem...and if I get one for $13, that woudl suit this poor boy's budget nicely. I'll let all you kind folks know what the result was in a few days!

Instructions or diagrams, where do I find the pictures to go with your words (online?) Thanks for all your quick responses!!!

Had the exact same problem with the original monitor, and replaced it with a new Envision digital, and it worked fine for about two months, now getting the message again. Hook up Envision to my Dell, no problems. Will clean out all the dust (saw that on another post) but want to know next step just in case. Which one would you try to replace first, video card or power supply? And, is the part to replace like changing a regular vido card, or is it where the monitor cable plugs in (inbo
