Question

My Acer monitor keeps flashing the logo and refreshing

Mar 10, 2018 12:30PM PST

This just started about 4 or 5 days ago. No idea what caused it or how to fix.

Basically what happens is I turn the monitor off or let it go to sleep mode.

When I come back to pc the logo will continuously flash on and off with an interval of about 7 seconds each time. It does this for minutes, as much as 5 minutes. No amount of mouse clicking or key pressing will make it load windows. This is very annoying and I have no idea how to stop it.

I have another issue that I somehow solved but want to ask how it happened. Around 2:30 am this morning my monitor decided to stretch everything. My icons, my internet, my wordpad which i have been using very much the last few weeks, they all had become stretched and everything had a horizontal scroll bar. It was so annoying. I tried everything from changing the resolution to trying all the function keys and eventually what I did that solved the problem was turning the pc off and back on. But how could this have happened anyways? I was asleep from 12am to 5:30 am.
