Agree with other posters that this is usually always associated with the signal cable not being fully plugged in at one or each end.	Guest (0)

While booting press the button on the front of your monitor to turn it on. Sometimes if the monitor is on, and the PC loses power (not shutdown, there is a comm problem. I find this method flushes everything. If this fails, it is most definitely a cable or graphics card problem, not a problem with the monitor. G P	Guest (0)
