i just had the same issue .. try dropping it way down ... set it like just to test it and see if it accepts it and dont holler ... if so now work your way back up to something around 1280x1024 thats what mine is set to and its working fine ... i started out at 1024x768 when i first started the pc up with the new monitor ... it didnt like that so i went up n it still didnt like that so done the oppisite and dropped it way down . like 600 area may not have to go that low .. but thats up to you .. hope this helps ...

Change the resolution to 1600X900 and set the refresh rate to as low as it can go. If that doesn't work then try 1280X800.

I get a message that says, "going to sleep"

Make sure you are running that latest video drivers for your video card and the settings are correct. If you are still having trouble you may have a defective monitor.

Ensure that it is running under a supported resolution, Set it to 1024X768 as this is standard and apply these settings. These are all done on the working Windows 7 PC. 1.)Right click on the desktop and select properties. 2.)Now under the settings tab set the resolution slider bar to 1024X768. 3.)Apply settings. 4.)Power PC off. Now reconnect the monitor to your Xp PC and it should display, because it was working and now it doesn't it may be safe to say that the configuration of the Win7 PC has changed the settings of the monitor. This should solve your problem, though I know it definitely works in a case where by you have one computer connected and it is connected to one screen and then it is changed for some reason. If you still have trouble with this I suggest you go through my tip relating to this kind of problem, it is entitled My Computer is not turning on!!! Is it dead!!! No POST!!! Another thing that you can try, this would determine if the XP computer is faulty is use a friends Monitor preferably of similar size. Note the section on Graphics cards

All the best

Check your power cable

ok i wll give you

your video card setting may not be compatible with your monitor's capability. you may need to reduce the screen resolution. you need to boot up on safe mode to change this or use another monitor for a while and try to adjust the screen resolution.

The monitor is working because you can see the computer cursor, but not showing the desktop, which means that your computer is stuck on boot up. You can verify that hooking up this PC to another monitor.
