Powr saver Ok i have problem with monitor power saver..when i plug in my adapter the picture is dark..and when i plug out is ok and shiny???? sorry for bad speling :)

if the monitor fails on 2 PCs the monitor has hardware issues, does it?
costs not a dime to plug it into friends PC with vga cable.
you said IT Shuts off,? does that mean.
the power button, has 3 colors, led status
off black led.
on green led.
amber led, sleep.
is it light going out?
or just a screen black,
if just screen black does OSD work on demand
yes, no?
if yes the monitor is not dead.(not totally)
if no it is dead.

seems your PSU board inside if bad, if the monitor goes dead.
Old monitors 2000-2007 had sleep timer.
disable that junk now.

seems it is a bad monitor, but id have to see it
and do many tests to condemn it.
Most of these monitors died long ago.
CCFL deathh(sic).
The first ones made in 2005 so is 13 years old.
Nevers seen one this old good.
CCFL failures are classic and super COMMMON.:
dead,
blinking (strobing effects)
yellow for white screens
dim

Assuming you are using windows XP on this:
Create a new folder in "my pictures " folder
Copy the images you want to use into there
On your desktop, RIGHT click and choose "properties" to open the display settings
Click "Screen saver" and choose my pictures slideshow
Click "settings" to open the options for this
Click browse to point to where you saved the images
Set the duration and timings to suit your tastes
Exit by clicking Ok and the OK to exit the display settings

Totally darken the room your computer is in, and see if you can see a very-dim image on your computer.
If so, it could be the "inverter" part inside the LCD that has failed (about a $20 part, but will take a technician about $50 to $75 to disassemble/replace/reassemble/test).

Try connecting the monitor to a different computer, to see if the monitor is OK.

Try connecting a different monitor to your computer, to see if the video-card is OK.

The first thing to check is , the Power, are ya sure it's plugged in OK, are ya sure that socket is working, try something else in that outlet to prove, check the power cord is pushed right in, Check ya on the right Video connector on the PC, make sure all conns are correct. Try the monitor on another base unit, try your base unit on another monitor. If all these are OK then ya Monitor has turned it's toes up sorry.

It sounds like the internal bulb in your monitor is going out. Some LCD monitors go through a slight warm-up period but it should not be 5-10 minutes. You may want to change your Power Saving settings to prevent from going into standby. Here's how:

Right-click in an open space on your desktop
Choose Properties
Click the Screen Saver tab
Down at the bottom look for the Power settings
Change the Monitor Standby to NEVER
Click OK

Good luck!!
