Blank Screens...

[jasonlim]

Hey there,
thought some of you might be able to help me onthis problem.
The LCD hasnt had any problems for the last 3 or so months.
Everytime i start the computer, my LCD gives a 'no input' sign for a few seconds, buy the time it gives a picture its halfway through the BIOS, and if i press del to enter BIOS the sreeen goes blank again for another 4-5 seconds. It also happens before/after the windows loading screen/desktop. and between 3DMark game banchmark tests, or when i start any games. Any ideas? not sure if its motherboard/screen/ram/ or video card? any way to find out? my spec are below. THanks!

[if you have another monitor around] -- First thing you would want to try is plugging another monitor in.

[if no monitor] -- try another power cable for the monitor [make sure it is on a different plug than the computer] then, try a vga cable - cheapest easiest
Then, you will have to go through monitor/vga card/mobo/ram.
