can monitor harm the video card
wrote:
can a malfunctioning computer monitor harm the computer's video card in
anyway? If the monitor goes completely black, can that harm the card if
the computer is left running? Thanks.
My friend once fried his new,expensive video card..He was juggling
cables/pc's around..went to re-connect the monitor cable to the PC,saw a
small spark between the monitor cable shield and the vid card connector
shield,Whatever it was it fried his vid card.
New card,and new-ish LCD monitor,he's now very careful about
connecting/disconnecting that monitor now.
