Why and what is the component making default, this ismy question ehe.

Actually ive build a computer for my girlfriend one year ago (
amd 64 754 3000+ newcastle,
Msi k8t neo fsr,
stock heatsink,
ati x800pro agp,
1gb corsair value selec pc3200,
wd 80gb hard drive

now the computer has been sold to one of my friend and 4 months after he have issue with POST, the computer refuse to send a signal to the monitor during post, he cleaned all the dust in the case to be sure a fan wasnt jamming, all is at stock speed,. he leaves the computer for the night, come back, and the computer boot, he reboot to make a test, it doesnt boot, after trying to boot plenty of times, his computer booted to windows and he wont restart until he understands what is his problem.

i would like to try to find a "pattern" that would explain the problem that i could troubleshoot but i dont see what could explain this "sometime it works sometime it doesnt"

Can someone help me troubleshooting that?

I'm having a little problem understanding what the problem is. Are you saying that the computer fails to turn on sometimes, or randomly reboots?
 
heeh ok sorry for my english first of all.

The problem is that when he press the power button, the computer power up but wont POST because the monitor is getting no signal.

When i finally boot into windows after several retries, the computer is stable like always.
