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.

Since sending the above post someone in this ng suggested I might need
a new video card. I bought a BFG e-GeForce 9500 GT and tried it.
Nothing changed so I reinstalled the old card (Evga e-GeForce 8600 GT
with half a gig of ram).
I'm thinking maybe to reinstall Vista.
Should I just pop the disk in and tell it to install or does somebody
have other suggestions?
Thanks again

Hi Shawn
Yes, I have installed latest monitor driver.
I turn off the monitor manually and I can't see anything in the
controls about sleep mode.
It's at the point now that to get the display to come on I have to
turn the computer off at the power supply, leave it for a minute or
two then restart and then turn on the display right after I hear the
first beep. Sometimes I have to do this several times. After it starts
it works fine until I try to restart.
Do you think reinstalling vista would help?
Thank you
wwp
