When i turn my gx270 on, everything works fine, for like 1 minute, then my monitor would go on standby (orange light) and my mouse shuts off, so i restart it and same thing. but onetime it will shut off in a minute, next time it wont even turn on, i cant do anything on it cause i dont have time to, its broken.. checked ram, videocard, its not windows. Power supply, or motherboard????
Call Dell for support. Looks like something in motherboard detects something (like temperature) then shut down your system.
Probably only need cleaning up inside.

The monitor is entering "standby" mode.
In Windows, click Start.
Click Control Panel.
Click Power Options.
Change the number of minutes before entering Standby Mode.
The simplest thing to do, as it is a desktop computer, is go to the control panel, power options and set everything to never so the computer never goes into standby mode.
If this does not prevent the machine going into standby mode then we need to perform further troubleshooting.
You need to determine if you is turning off or going into standby mode. When your monitor shuts off, the power light will turn orange if it is in standby or the light will turn completely off if the monitor turns off. If your monitor goes to standby, that means that your monitor is losing signal which indicates a problem with your PC.
#1 Make sure cable is firmly secured and both screws are tight
#2 Check your video card make sure that it is firmly in its slot. Take it out and put it back in.
*as long as your computer is open give it a good cleaning with compressed air*
If those things check out it is possible that your video card has failed and needs to be replaced.
If your monitor is powering off
#1Check plugins- try something else (i.e. lamp) in the outlet
#2 Try your PC's power cord in your monitor
Do you see an orange light on the monitor anywhere? Usually the light
turns green when the monitor comes on, but its orange when in "standby"
mode. If your monitor is plugged in and you get an orange light, that
usually means that your video card has gone out on your computer. When
your video card goes out, the monitor doesn't receive a signal from your
computer, so it
doesn't know it is suppose to turn on. So if this is the case, you need
to replace the video card on your computer
If your monitor
doesn't turn on whatsoever, and everything is plugged in correctly, then
you need to get a new monitor or send this one back to the manufacturer
for a defective replacement.

your monitor is telling you it's on it's last legs..either that or your compaq has a bad video section. either is more vital than a video cable being loose.
Your monitor is not the problem. Check all the connections from the back of the monitor, to the computer.
"No Signal Analog" means your monitor is working perfectly, however is not receiving signal from the computer.
Didnt find any loose cables? Try unplugging everything. Leave it unplugged for at least 5 minutes. You need to give the system time to drain all the excess power.
Again your monitor is fine, blue light > No signal > orange light is totally normal for your montior.
