I was just about to watch a DVD on my computer when all of the sudden, my monitor blacks out and there is a 'pop' noise from the built-in speakers. The power light flashes green, which I have never seen before. It usually flashes orange if there is no signal or if there is a problem with the resolution/refresh rate. I reboot my system and the screen appears to be fine, up till the point when it should show my desktop. Then the same thing happens...same pop and everything.

I tried booting into safemode, that worked. I tried booting off a Knoppix CD, that worked too. I just can't get my system back up in its "normal" configuration.

My OS is Windows 2000 and my video card is a nVidia GeForce4 440MX 64MB. My monitor is a Daewoo CMC-1509B.

I'm pretty sure my video driver is up to date. I've been using 1152x864 at 16 bit color, refresh rate was 75. I've been using these settings since Feburary without a problem.

I'm going to bring home a monitor from work tomorrow and try it out. Any ideas, in case a different monitor doesn't work?
