Hi,

For some reason my monitor won't stay on, or I have trouble turning it on.

I know that this is not an issue with the monitor as have replaced and the problem is still occurring.

Can anyone think of any ways in which I can get this problem fixed? Occasionally the screen will work (this can take up to an hour of constant trying) is there some way of starting up via safemode that will stop this happening?

All suggestions welcome as desperatley need my computer!

Nic

Overheat, PSU, or video card/chipset failure. Need more details, really - when does this happen? When starting up?

It's mainly during start up

PSU swap's probably the cheapest and quickest thing to try.
