I have a Gigabyte EP45 EXTREME motherboard connected to an AOC LM720 monitor which is operated under Windows XP Professional.
Recently and without warning a problem occured at bootup.
I would turn the power on to computer and monitor. I would then start the computer and it would make its usual one beep. The motherboard splash screen would appear on the monitor briefly and then the screen would go black/blank.
At first I thought that I would turn it off and reboot. I did this 2 or 3 times and sure enough it started as per usual. I expected the computer to boot up normally after that.Unfortunately, the next day it did the same thing but I got it going by rebooting.
By turning the monitor off and on I discovered that Windows was actually loading but the monitor was not updating the screen. Anyone know a solution to this please? TIA.
