Sometimes it helps a lot with motherboard related issue.

Try cycling the power on the monitor during boot and see if it picks up, it may be a monitor issue. check some of the simple stuff first like loose cables on the back of the monitor and the computer. I found a loose power cable on the back of a computer at work...worked fine until you shut the computer off...go figure Edited September 8, 2012 by Nobodygood>XI< Awards
