Lately, I've noticed that I'm experiencing a somewhat random issue with my monitor. If my system is completely powered off, and its been cool for a while, when I power it on my monitor doesn't always receive the video signal. It acts like it doesn't receive any signal at all (staying asleep itself).
My monitor is a generic HP w2338h. Computer specs are listed:
AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE processor, Gigabyte GA-MA790GPT-UD3H motherboard, Radeon HD 4670 1G 128bit video card, and Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) OS.
When I have the problem, I have to turn the computer back off (hold the power button), power off the monitor (which was sleeping), and then power on the computer. Once the computer is on, I then turn on the monitor. Sometimes that works and I can then see my video. Other times, I have to do this a couple times in a row (which sucks, since it's bad for the hardware).
Any suggestions about what's wrong? I've done a full system scan with my A/V software (AVG free). I've also tested for errors on the hard drive, which was new when I built this system. All came up clean.
