If you're using the same VGA/DVI lead on each computer it's probably damaged.

If the same thing happens when you try a substitute lead:

1) Monitor VGA/DVI socket is damaged.

2) Monitor has internal fault.

Thanks for response sorry i am not sure what VGA/DVI lead is..
You mean where plugs into monitor?

check for bent pins on monitor cable ... really look hard

There are two leads connected to your monitor.

One plugs into your mains socket.

It's not that one I'm referring to.

I put VGA/DVI as there are two types of connector for connecting video signal lead from monitor to computer - VGA & DVI. You didn't state what yours was.

Try a substitute video lead then report back.

And as Mucks said - check for bent pins.
