Hey everyone, its Yankoz here. A couple of weeks ago, I had a problem about my monitor turning off. I thought it was the Monitor and the Graphics Card as it is a TV. But I use it as my PC monitor and turns out it is well. I just found out that it is in fact nothing to do with the Monitor. Its my Graphics Card Driver. Its a BFG 8800 OC. What happens is that when the operating system boots up the loading screen comes on, and then that it is stops working windows does not come up. I know that its the Driver as I went into Safe Mode. By the way, in Safe Mode the computer works fine and there are no problems at all. I uninstalled the Graphics Card Driver and the problem was solved. The computer worked fine. The funny thing is that this does not happen all the time. Sometimes it will work from the first time, sometimes it doesn't. Also i m running Vista on it but i had the same problem with XP too. Please tell me what I could do to solve the problem. Should I download a different Driver for the Graphics Card? The Driver I am using is the one that was provided with the Graphics Card. Thank you

hey thx for the reply, i tried it on a different monitor and it was fine it loaded up without a problem,but the real problem is when i restart the computer,i restarted the computer on to the new monitor and it still gives the problem,windows will load up and then monitor will switch off, i tried it in safe mode on to the new monitor,loaded it fine and then i restarted it in safe mode and it was fine,so i m guessing is a software problem :(, any suggestions?

hey everyone,i been having some problems with my monitor, for some reason when i turn the pc on the monitor will come with the motherboard make screen (the screen where u can go on the bios),then load windows and then switch off,the computer will keep running but the screen is just black!!!,i know my way around with computers but i what ever i tried i cant fix the problem. oh yeah and another thing, the monitor i using is actualy an LCD tv,my sister uses it to play her xbox 360 with HD,it has a monitor output so i use that,could that be the problem? any suggestions would be of great help :)
