I've tried about everything I've seen about this problem. I have a strong feeling it may be the graphics card. The mobo doesn't have onboard graphics so I cant try it that way, nor do I have another monitor to try with. The only things from my old computer(which is broken so can be of no help) are the cd-rom drive and the monitor. I'm really at my wits end and would prefer to not have to take it to a repair store if possible. The only problem really seems to be that monitor won't come out of stand-by at the start up. So anyone have any ideas?
