I am having the same issue. I have to restart my monitor with the blue power button over and over for about 5 min when I start the computer. I work at a Best Buy and will never recommend another Gateway to my customers. When I contacted them they told me that my computer is out of warranty. I had a known issue with a dell laptop that was out of warranty and they replaced my laptop. From talking to people my backlight is out.
Sounds like the back light is out. You can always take the monitor apart and reseat the lcd cable. Could be that the cable is not seated properly enough and that can cause this kind of problem.
At least trying this would verify that the lcd backlight is defective.

I have never taken a monitor apart. Taken plenty of computers apart, though. Is that hard to do?
