I have a problem that has been intermittent, but now occurs all the time, with my LCD monitor (AOS LM928, 19"). The screen goes blank on startup after about 1 second on each display (motherboard, bios, XP, "welcome", desktop). The green monitor light stays on and the display will return, but just for 1 second, whenever I turn off the monitor then turn it back on again. I have a Radeon X700 graphics card.

Replace the monitor.

A SOLUTION!!! I'm new to this site and am not sure of where/how to let others know of the solution to my posted problem of my monitor screen (AOS LM928) going blank, but I must try! Today I stripped my monitor checking everything from capacitors to contacts. On reassembly, still thinking that a likely problem was some sort of power cut-off issue and, particularly, noting a plastic component directly behind the monitor control buttons, I left the thin screen surround strip off and powered up the computer. After over a year of frustrating hassles, the problem was gone! I conclude that the problem was that one of the buttons, perhaps most likely the power button or the auto button, was pressing semi-permanently against the switch behind through the plastic strip, continually triggering auto power cut-off. I would be happy to discuss this issue by email with anyone suffering from this problem; my email is e-mail removed.
