Computer Advice Request

RE - Monitor: Is the monitor yours or did you get it with the computer. If it is an old monitor it may be a driver issue.

For the automatic troubleshooting issue I found these steps:

Change Recommended Troubleshooting Settings in Settings

1 Open Settings, and click/tap on the Privacy icon.

2 Click/tap on Diagnostics & Feedback on the left side, and select the Recommended troubleshooting setting you want in the drop menu on the right side.

3 You can now close Settings.

Hope this helps.

It's a new monitor, but bought separately. As fas as I can tell the graphics card is just not outputting anything - I get "no signal" briefly when I turn to monitor off and on again.

Is there any way to stop one particular search for a non existant problem? It's currently on "ask me before fixing", which is as far as I want to go, the bottom level seems too poor a service.

P.S. There's something sad about disassembling (I've just taken out the disc drives to destroy.) a computer (the one before last) that's served you well for many years. Even if it's spent years sitting in a cupboard.
