maybe the vga cable has a short in it with something. i dunno what to tell you. plug the touchscreen monitor into your desktop along with the usb and see if its working good. by the way...HOW ARE YOU POWERING THE PC AND HOW ARE YOU POWERIN THE SCREEN?

When i bought the PC, there was a 230V AC - 12 DC adapter whit... and allso when i bought the Monitor, there was a 230V AC - 12 DC Adapter whit... and thats how im powering it.... THEY HAVE THERE OWN POWER SUPPLY...... NOT ONE POWER SUPPLY TO BOTH!!!

im still convinced its related to the motherboard cap issues. Mine just did a constant reboot.....check the top of all the large caps near the psu for buldging, or burn marks

I also had a similar issue one time with a mobo....where it wouldnt boot if the keyboard was plugged in.....tried different keyboards. This happened from the powersupply killing the mobo. ****in cheap powersupplys.

I place my bet on the monitor/cable being the culprit. It seems to crap out too quickly for it to be a BIOS issue. I think the monitor is shorting out the computer some how. Maybe some one here knows if all 9 pins are used on the video adapter? If all 9 pins are used for both monitors, then I would definitely say it has something to do with the monitor/cable.

I also like the hand gestures lol, you seem so frustrated.

Hehe. Trust me he is! Who would'n be ?

It is really weird. We just tried with my carpc it did the same..
Then we tried with my desktop computer at work, and it fried the gfx-adapter !!!!

So I think that you are correct that it shorts the computer somehow! Whe tried the mesaure the cable for voltage but nothing comes up!

My friend will send it back for repair/new unit !
peace out.. cu. sympo
