hi can any1 help i have just got a pc along with monitor and when i plugged it all in and switched on at first i got the windows xp load up screen then it went to hibernation mode on monitor so i turned everything off and restarted the pc to which i kept recieving no video input even tho the tower was still working away, iv tried the monitor on another system n it worked fine, the tower has on board graphics and detects wen the monitor is connected. Can anyone help please?

You might be dealing with a resolution issue. When the computer boots up, it may show the startup screens because the resolution on the monitor is set to LOW, but when the desktop loads, the higher resolution that in the windows settings isn't matching up with the low resolution of the monitor, and the monitor thinks it has no signal. If there are controls on the monitor to lower the resolution, try that, or, load windows in safe mode and see if the monitor springs to life all the way through to the desktop, then use desktop settings to set the native resolution of the monitor in the display settings.
