Odd problem that is driving me crazy...

I should perhaps post in another forum, but I am not sure if it's a monitor problem or something completely different..

The problem is that my monitor sometimes shows a "no signal" when booting into windows or after a restart, it's like the gfx doesn't send a signal from time to time. Normaly when the screen is black in the boot reach Windows it will recieve a signal and power up.

I first thought it was a DVI-DVI only problem, but I have also seen it a couple of times with DSUB-DSUB. I have changed cables but it still happens.

Re-installed windows and same thing happens.

Changed PSU, GFX and mobo - not luck with that either.

Is there some stupid setting in bios that I should know of, I simply have no clue..

The old system:
Asus P4C800E-Deluxe
P4 Northwood 3.2ghz
Chill Innovation 500watt psu
Asus 128mb 6800gt
Corsair 3200LL pro 1gb / 2 sticks
Viewsonic VP201B monitor

The new system:
DFI Lanparty SLI
Asus 7800GTX
Hipe 520W psu
Corsair 3200LL pro 1gb / 2 sticks
AMD X2 4400
Viewsonic VP201B monitor

Any clues?
 
I have a similar problem. Sometime, when I am surfing the net, monitor shows no signals. And I have to restart my computer. It seem to harddrive activities stop at same time.

I traced my problem to chipset on my aging motherboard a7v133. When I replace my chipset fan, problem has gone away. It seems to me that problem was overheating on motherboard.
 
Im having the same problem w/ my old rig I sold to my brother. I had the video card tested on another rig and it does not do this. The monitor works fine on another computer too. I'm guessing motherboard issue, maybe the AGP controller(?) and am replacing it. Ill let you know how that works.
 
Cheers both..
Not sure myself, need to test the ram or something, as it seems to be the last hardware to change..
 
I had a problem like this so I tried older video card drivers and it seem to work fine.
 
Thanks, but I feel the drivers does not have anything to do with this as it doesn't happen in Windows only during post.. Drivers does not do anything while in post do they?
