"THE STATUS OF THE MONITOR HAS SHUT DOWN"
Jerry,

That message does not make much sense. Are you sure that it is an EXACT quote of what it says? Can you tell if it is being generated by Windows (or a Windows application), or is it being generated by the monitor itself? What happens when you get this message? Can you still use the computer, or is your monitor blank except for this message? An exact model number for the monitor would also be useful.
