Monitor does not always turn on ?

[clarkey01]

Hi Guys

Just recently my monitor does not turn on every time I boot up. I have to try a few times and switch outputs on my card (DVI)

Have taken my ram out and V card and put them back in again, anyone have an idea if this is the monitor or what? :-(

Not great since I have coursework deadlines looming

Cheers Guys

Best thing you can do is get a hold of a differnt monitor and see if your still having the same problems. If so then the video card may be the issue.

Try to borrow a friends monitor or something see if you have the same issue.

This may help power down pc unplug monitor from wall leave unplugged for a minute or so plug monitor back in fire up pc had the same issue with dvi hp w2207h monitor and this fixed it. Also new drivers from nvidia may be a help if you havent updated in a while.

It seems when the monitor does not switch on, the inputs, i.e G15 keyboard and MS wirlress mouse do not light up, does this point to motherboard ?
