...And my Samsung monitor is flashing "aging" in red letter near the top. Any ideas?

I think you monitors having a midlife crisis.

Seriously though, it sounds like Samsung built some kind of feature into their monitors to keep you from using them too long before you have to replace it and spend more money.

This sounds like the monitor has detected something and it thinks it is getting old and my die soon. Call their tech support and find out (or do a google search).

I guess I'll try tech support tomorrow. What are the chances that this is possibly a mobo problem, and not a monitor problem?

So, the mobo couldn't control the flashing word?

Just checking, but you did unhook the monitor from the system and try it on its own and it still says the same thing correct?

Well, when I had come home, my computer was off, but my monitor was on, and it was still doing it

Samsung tech support looked through entire manual, notes, etc. There's nothing about it. Which should I try next? Mobo company or video card?

Heh that's pretty funny that they don't even know what it is. Since it did that even when the computer was off it pretty much has to be the monitor itself.

Ok, well now its not doing it when my comp is off. It will do it right at start up for a few seconds, then stop, then come back, then stop at the Windows Login screen, and resume a few seconds after my desktop loads.
