Brian,

That message is typically what most monitors show when they have lost the
video signal. It sounds as though your computer may be having a problem, so
it simply shutdown and wouldn't turn back on. There can be a number of
causes for this, including insufficient cooling, or a failing component.

Since you say it is working now, it could be a heat related problem.
