    Fault monitor or PC. Unsure which!
    Hi all, I am puzzled as to which is at fault. When I switch on the PC and monitor the orange light on the monitor flashes as if the screen is in standby. When working correctly it normally comes on straight away with a green light showing. I have to switch it on and off many times before it comes on normally.
    I just wondered if this is a common or simply rectified fault, or is it a case of a new monitor.
    Thank you
    Richard.

    Hi Richard

    I had a similar problem and I had to replace my monitor, the problem could be one of two things, it could be your graphics card or your monitor that isn't working properly. In order to find out I suggest you plug your monitor into another computer and if it doesn't work properly when you plug it into another computer then I'm afraid you'll have to buy another monitor. But if it does work in the other computer then there is something wrong with your graphics card/ motherboard.

    Hope this is of some help
