boot in protected (save) mode. than try to change your settings

My samsung does the same thing. It's done it like once or twice. I think the power save sometimes gets activated some how. It's nothing to worry about as a defect I don't believe. If it continues maybe, but yeah mines done it to. I don't like it either but to me it's not big deal.

I know what you meant man.

Yeah mines done that. Are you saying it does this EVERY time? And you can't get a display at all?

ok the Video card isinf firmly the cable is connected, The monitor worked before I shut down the computer and put the on files back on it, then I tried to boot back up and the screen is blank, but the led is flashing. If it is the monitor how to I get it out of the power save mode?

Turn it off and turn it back on; monitors default to "ready" mode upon power up

It seems that the video card might not be functional? Or the slot might be gone?

try this. unplug the monitor from the wall, turn on your comp and when you think windows or whatever is up, plug it in. just see what happens.

once the computer is on and I turn the monitor on again the computer will shut off, or nothing will happen.

A sign that no signal is getting from the video card to the monitor. Check the card/slot (or even the cable)
