Monitor… or something else?

by kal_lmn . Updated 13 years, 10 months ago

I was recently having troubles with my PC booting, so I decided to upgrade. I got a brand new CPU, Video Card, and MotherBoard. I installed all of the new drivers, uninstalled old ones, and for the past 3 days, it has worked phenomenally well. There have been no issues until now. The problem is that my PC boots fine, but literally only several seconds after booting, before even logging in… ANYTHING that has to do with graphics or visuals completely shuts off my monitor. The screen turns black, and nothing is shown, seems like the whole computer just freezes. I THINK it is my monitor dying. I turn off, then on my monitor, then it continues booting where it left off, then several seconds later, it does it again. I can boot, log in, open internet, everything seems to work fine, but I have to KEEP turning off and on my monitor over and over again to continue with anything. THe monitor also makes a loud high pitch squeel every time I turn it off then on, which is why I am pretty sure it is dying. I just want professional input since it was very odd. Was working JUST fine, then BLAM, in the middle of a game, the screen just went black and is now having this issue. I just wanted to be sure its not drivers, or bios, or video card issues or anything. I don’t have another monitor to try, so I’m a bit lost as what to do.
