    This is a table model nVidia computer running Hardy. Like most table 
models it has a monitor plugged in. My monitor is a 17 inch KDS radius 
liquid crystal monitor about 7 years old. It works just fine. Yes I do 
turn the power off the monitor when I go to bed. The computer stays on.

    I do not think it is a power problem since all is plugged into the 
120 vac line.
