Monitor comes on and then turns off

First of all disconnect the power & unplug the video cable from the back of the CPU & Monitor. Power-on the monitor & wait 10 secs. If the Monitor is functioning correctly, a 'No Signal' message appears & sometimes keeps bouncing around like a screen saver motion. This means your monitor is OK, if no signal message is not showing then either backlight or inverter(power) input has gone KAPUT. Replacing either or both may not turn out to be a cost effective soln. However if the damage is only in the cable then simply replace it or use the HDMI port..........................Sodeep63

This should be the adapter that you need, DVI to VGA.

Have you tried this monitor on a different computer? If it happens on a different computer then most likely the monitor is defective.

threw it in the garbage.

Send the monitor. It's a power supply problem. My 15.4" LCD has the problem, too, whenever I move the monitor down, it powers off, and the menu disappears as well, but I'm going to fix the screen.

Go to device manager-> expand display adapters. Rightclick on the video adaptor and select properties. Click on driver tab and select option RollBAck driver.

If you can see the screen display an image upon close scrutiny, it could be that the florescent back light is burned out.

if still problem then replace RAM
or replace the display card.

It sounds like the monitor whose writing comes up in pink has a problem with the RGB usually IC driven and all of them sound like they have faulty power supply boards. Will investigate further and give a more detailed answer. Hope this helps for the time being.
