This past weekend i reformated my harddrive and installed windows vista home
prem.
the problem that iam getting is when restarting and turning on my monitor
does not turn on when windows starts up. i can hear the hard drives and
dvd-roms goin and doing there thing but nothing comes up on the monitor. once
i turn it off by holding down the power button and usually on the 2nd try of
turning on, the monitor turns on.
i have a 2 y/o dell desktop dim 8800 with a nvidia 256md graphics card.
are there any software diag. that i can do to test the boot process if it
even recognizes the monitor?
