I have a flat lcd dell monitor and my prob is when getting ready to use puter the monitor will work for only about 2-5 seconds at a time. I have to turn it off and back on for app 5-10 minutes before it finally stays on. Once it stays on it will work fine no matter how long I use it until I go a couple of hours of not using it, then I have to go through the on off thing again. Anybody got any ideas what it's prob is?????? Thanks

If it is the monitor then it could be anything in the monitor. If you are switching off your computer then it could be your Graphic card.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

Having to turn monitor off and on until it stays on. Once it stops blacking out it works fine.
