Sounds like it could be a short in the wiring to the monitor. If it changes as you slowly open or close the monitor, then that is it. If it is visible before windows boots up, then that is it as well.

Make sure the power cable and video cable are securely connected.  If that doesn't solve the problem, hook your monitor up to a friend's computer.  Same problem?  Then you have a bad display.  Works ok on a different computer?  Probably a bad video card in your computer.\n\nI'd also suggest using different power and video cables if you have access to others.  You might find that you just have a bad cable.\n\nGood luck

There could be issue with the Display. \n\nTry performing Power Drain. \n\nHere are the steps for Power Drain:\n\n1. Disconnect the AC Adapter. \n2. Remove the Battery.\n3. Hold the Power button down for 30 seconds to 1 minute. \n4. Reconnect the AC adapter and do NOT connect the battery now. \n5. Turn on the Notebook power. If the problem persists, please disconnect the AC adapter and connect the battery alone. Now check it again.\n\nTry reinstalling the Display drivers. Also, you can try updating the BIOS version. If the issue persists then, there is sure issue with the display.

sounds like your video device is overheating.....contact the manufacture, you may have to send it in for service

do you see ANYTHING during the boot process?\n\nif 'No', then disconnect the power and open the case and verify that the video card is pushed-down all the way.\n\nif is 'onboard video' (ie the vga connecter is up by the keyboard & mouse & audio connecters,) then try to plug in a different monitor, see if a different one displays...\n\nmake sure you're taking the Monitor's power cord or power supply with you to the P3 machine....  :-P\n\nHope this helps !

Swap monitors. If he gets color back, then you've identified the issue. If not, it's probably the video card. Identify the card through windows device manager and update the current driver.\n\nMight not be a bad idea to run a virus scan, either.

disconect the monitor cable from the video card and look at the pins....make sure one didn't get bent. it's way easy to bend one and it will usually throw off the color or brighrness. if thats ok, try adjusting the brightness and contrast on the monitor.

I think every thing is OK.\nIf you see nothing on monitor than reinstall the AGP Card, RAMs  into the motherboard. \nCheck each connections into the motherboard and reinstall Windows. \nHope it will solve the problem other wise you will have to visit a technician.\nGood Luck!

Next time it goes blank, try pressing the menu button, if the menu comes up, suspect the video card.  If the menu doesn't display, replace your monitor.  Of course, check the cable connections first.

Don't whack your flat panel with your hand. It could be a cable, hardware, software or an electromagnetic issue.\n\nFirst, check your monitor cable for bent pins and try a different cable.\n\nWhen you installed your monitor, did your comptuer automatically detect and install a driver for it or did the monitor come with software?  Or is it possible your computer updated the driver software recently? You can try going to the manufacturer's website and under "support" looking up current hardware drivers for your monitor's model. Download and install the driver.\n\nThe easiest and best solution is to take it back if it's still under warranty.

wow...have you installed new drivers?  new hardware?\n\ndid you check the system - hardware under control panel?  is the port ok or is it x'ed out?  unknown hardware?\n\nif all the above is ok, I would delete the device and reboot and see if it reinstalls ok...

Does your monitor do or show anything at all? Or is it completely dead. Check the cords and make sure they didnt fall off. When you turn the computer on do you get a boot up screen and then it goes dead? If so the monitor is ok. The monitor driver my be corrupt or deleted itself, or you might have a bad video card. Try this turn the computer and the monitor on and unplug the monitor cord from the back of the computer if the monitor is ok you should get a message on the screen telling you that it is disconnected from the computer, if you get this message then the cord or the video card or driver is bad. If you have a friend with a computer ask them if you can borrow their monitor. Disconnect your monitor and reconnect it using their cord if it still wont work your cord is fine if it works you then need a new cord. If it still wont work connect their monitor and see if it works if it does then you need a new monitor if it does the same thing that yours is doing, then it is something else and not the monitor or the cord. If their monitor doesnt work either then it could be the the video card or the driver. To see if it is the driver or the video card since you cant check it in the device manager because your monitor isnt working do this. Notice where the cord plugs into the back of the computer,open the computer up hopefully you have a plug in video card (plugs in slots on the board and can be removed) the other kind is a onboard video card which is built onto the board. If you have a removeable card be carefull and pull it out of the computer. Start the computer up and let it run for a couple of minutes then turn the computer off this will clear a corrupt driver from the system bios. Turn the computer back on if the card is ok it and the driver is bad it will ask ask you if you want to reinstall the driver click yes it will the ask you from where click MS web site also click on the C drive make sure that you have it so it searches all the C drive. It will then do a search and if it finds the driver it will ask you if you want to install it, click yes, after you are done, restart the computer if the monitor still doesnt work more then likely the video card is shot.You can find a decent one for around 60-70 dollars at Best Buy. If you have an onboard card then you have no choice but to try a new card. There should be a slot on the board for it just make sure when you plug the cord back in to plug it into the new card and not the onboard connection. As for copying the files dumbbutt4321 hit it on the head go to radio shack and by cross over cables they plug into the usb connectors!!\nP.S. once again I have read answers from people that DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. You can NOT switch a hardrive from 1 computer to another without formatting it.. The reason being is that EVERY CPU has a unique identifier on it that installs it self into the BIOS and on to the hardrive. It matches the CPU and hardrive together. Because of this a hardrive will not work if you take it out of one computer and put it into another one without formatting the drive. You have to erase that unique identifier off the drive so that when you switch them the CPU will do its thing and put the id on the new drive so it will match up again! I wish that all you BACK YARD so called computer geeks would leave this stuff up to those of us that actually spent months and alot of money going to school to learn computers and and take tests to get certified. All you manage to do is f+ck up the peoples computer more then it is already!!!!!!!                                                                            GOOD LUCK!!!!\n                             ZEUS
