I can boot to desk top without a problem, yet after I've been using my system for a bit and then decide to shut down I can't boot up again because the monitor won't kick on. It tries, but then goes off, so I haver to hard shut down, I have to wait an hour if not more before re-starting my system. I have an old (and I mean old desk top) the monitor is Dell/trinitron, OS win98se.....help please..
