john,
i agree with stephen about 'energy savings issue' and i am wondering just what
you mean by monitor making a 'thungggg' sound.
most color monitors have a degaussing coil around front outer edge of crt. most,
when _first_ powered on, will make such a sound. it is caused by magnetic field
attracting metal screen dot mask and metal shielding around crt. _normally_,
there is no degaussing after power is first applied.
could this possible be sound you are referring to? if so, then you may be having
a power supply problem with your monitor.
don't normally hear it again until close down. Just recently the monitor has
been randomly powering off with this noise, a moments black screen, and
then back to whereever I was on desktop, nothing lost ,and it does it automatically I'm not having to reset anything, I feel it's a monitor / power problem, except that maybe the OS is telling it to do this. I don't know, or is it a problem inside the monitor. I had assumed it was to do with the OS since when I'm in Windblows there doesn't seem to be the same problem, so if it was a monitor power problem surely it would be the same
there, only of course I don't spend as much time there as in Mandrake, but I think
it is true nevertheless. If it was a transfomer problem it would do it in windblows.
My best guess is that something in Mandrake OS is randomly telling monitor to powerdown and then switching itself back on again.That is why I thought of APM,
but I'm not over confident about it. I don't really know.
I suppose the question is what possible combination problems could be causing
the monitor to randomly powerdown and back on again, are they OS, or hardware
in nature, and what specifically ? Could a buildup of static cause that ?
