Monitor Help

[equal6]

Hello,

ever since I built my computer, my monitor does not start up on the first press of the power button of my machine. I turn it on.. everything works I know this because I hear the windows sounds on start up. It's just that my monitor doesn't turn on. I have to wait about 2 minutes then manually turn off the computer and restart it back up then finally the monitor works.. I'm not very good with bios so It could be that I missed something in their when I configured it.

Help ?

Thanks.

What drivers are you using? I'm pretty sure the Cats 6.11's work well with that card.

Hopefully you tried moving the mouse around to get it out of power-off.

If you have, check all the connections and the graphics drivers.

I'm using the latest ati ones(www.ati.com). It hasnt worked since the day I turned it on.

This may sound funny, but are you using a USB keyboard? If so, try a PS2 KB and mouse.

The only thing I can suggest is flashing your bios, let it detect everything and don't make any changes, until you can see if that solves the problem.

Sorry to sound stupid, but how do I do that?
