 Graphics card & monitor trouble Hey guys I'm a newbie to computers so go easy on me. I recently bought a graphics card ( geforce 256mb PCI ). Not the best card out there but suits my old PC down to the ground. I have an old 15" TFT monitor and everytime I turn my machine on the monitor shuts itself off. It won't turn back on unless I shut my machine down. I was wondering if there is a fault with the card, or that my monitor is not good enough. Any suggestions?       |

| Graphics card & monitor trouble Were you using onboard graphics before you got this card? If so try disabling the onboard in the bios
