Hi Everyone It's a pleasure to join your Lounge. I have 12 yrs in the computer field but still learning day to day new things. My problem is when I first bootup my sons computer when its cold it goes through the whole boot cycle but blank screen. After it warms up and I reboot it runs fine, any ideas would be greatful.
Thank You

Reconnect (securely) the monitor to the video card. Boot cold and see what happens.

Hi Again,
I believe you were right, it's the monitor I tried a few different video cards and the same result. Thank You for your help, when I get a few extra bucks I will buy a new monitor because it booted up fine cold with my monitor.Thank You Again
