Save up for a replacement monitor. It will probably die soon. One I had at work, once the PC was powered down would cycle through the main colours for a few weeks. We just switched it off until one day it wouldn't switch on.

I've always believed you shouldn't hot-plug monitors. Old-school perhaps but then again I've seen a few dead ps/2 sockets over the years and always tended to play safe with everything other than USB.

Barring a faulty cable I'd agree the monitor is probably failing.

PS/2 was never intended and certainly never designed to be hot plugged, and usually wouldn't work when hot-plugged.

VGA, DVI, and HDMI (especially on laptops) is actually designed to be safely hot pluggable.

So yeah, old school :P

Useful to know, thanks. Although I'll probably not change my ways...

Particularly with client computers I always play safe. Some of them are almost as old as I am, and poor delicate things.
