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< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What brand of monitor do you have and model of video card? Have you also tried putting the monitor on a different PC if one is available to see if it behaves in the same manner?
