All of a sudden my monitor has started to switch off during the boot process. It happens immediately after the XP loading page. I have replaced the monitor and graphics card. The motherboard also has onboard graphics which still works. It will still boot into safe or VGA mode.

This is the windows 9X forum.

While in safe mode, go to 'device manager' and delete the reference to your video card. Then reboot. This will force windows to reinstall the video drivers and hopefully fix your problem.
