There's no point in buying a completely new computer if it works with another monitor, you may as well buy another monitor! It sounds like Windows has recognised your existing monitor and is setting the display resolution and/or refresh rate incorrectly during boot up.

 

Try starting your computer in Safe Mode. If that works, your screen resolution or refresh rate are set incorrectly. Read these articles:

Try lowering both and then restarting your computer as normal.
