I have a pc  that's about a year old. Recently I turned it on and there was no video. After pressing the 'reset' button, the pc reboots and all is fine.
The problem is consistent. Every time I turn the pc off or go into 'standby' mode, the computer comes back on with a 'no SIGNAL' message. I have to power down and REBOOT to make the video work.

I have an ASUS mother board and a Nvidea Geforce 8500gt graphics card.

I downloaded  and installed the latest drivers for the graphics card, but that did not help.

Any ideas?I have a similar pro :)blem. I just turn off the monitor,
wait a bit, turn it back and and all OK.

Cane anybody explain this? 
I should note that the computer seems to be booting up. I can hear the Windows XP 'bootup music' but there is no video.
1) What happens when you boot to safe mode?
2) What happens with a different monitor?
3) How does your monitor work on a different system?Ok, I finally decided to try the easy stuff. I opened up the computer and reseated the video card. Viola' everything is fine.

Thanks for the assistance.
