Start-up problem

My monitor will only come on if I press the monitor on switch
immediately after the first beep in the computer start-up sequence.
Have updated all drivers.
Am running vista premium and have a viewsonic vx922 monitor.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi,

The first beep is usually the video card indicator. Are you saying that the
monitor doesn't work if you switch it on before this? Or that if you wait a
few minutes to turn it on it won't work then? Please clarify what the
problem is.

Yes to both your questions and if I turn off the monitor at any time
it will no come back on, The monitor start switch has a light in it
and goes on and off.
Thank you for this.

PS: For some reason my news reader has stopped quoting the whole
original message.
 
Sounds like the problem is in the display adapter. If you can, try the
monitor on another system. I suspect you'll find that it's ok. If so, then
the faulty component (meaning it needs to be replaced) is the video card.

Just replaced the video card but I've got a feeling you're right. I'll
try to get a replacement from the store.
Thanks again

Thank you for this PJ.
A lesson learned.

That's because Rick is a TOP POSTER and the little "--" above his sig
cuts everything off beneath it when you try to quote what you're
replying to.

Annoying as hell, isn't it!?

To over-ride that annoyance caused by TOP POSTERS with sigs, highlight
the whole post before you reply.

niether of these exhibits that behavior.

No it's not - I get that in Thunderbird when the person top-posts a reply
and the sig is at the top as well - all the quoted post(s) below are
stripped out when I hit "Reply"...
