I'm having a problem. When I power up my computer, sometimes my monitor won't come out of powersaving mode to display the screen and I have to turn it off and on again, sometimes repeating the process 3-4 times before it will kick on. I've tried multiple monitors and have had 2 different vid cards in the machine with the same problem, so I don't think the problem is there. Any ideas?

Specs:
AMD 3800+ x2 Socket 939 Winchester
Motherboard: KN1 Lite
Cooling: AC Freezer Pro
Memory: 512 mb Kingston x4 (2 GB total) Dual Channel
Video Card: EVGA NVidia 7900GT
Harddisk: 120 GB WD
CD/DVD Drive: Samsung 18x DVD-RW w/ Lightscribe
CRT/LCD Model: Samsung 940Be 19"
Sound Card: Audigy 2 ZS
PSU: 650W Enermax 3 in 1 550W
 
Hmmm.found the thread; rebumping after some issues. Any help would be great.
 
You have pretty much ruled everything out. My first thought was graphics card but since you have tried replacing it, I am going to guess a motherboard issue. Specifically the PCI-E slot. Try a PCI graphics card if you can to confirm.
