I ran into this very problem myself, the issue is that the monitor only supports 1280x1024 resolution MAX. Windows 7 cannot detect this monitor and so it does not know it is limited to this resolution, so Windows 7 is putting out a higher resolution at startup, thus the monitor tries to autodect for a second but then just goes blank because it doesn't understand (and can't display) the signal. The only solution is to use another monitor and adjust the resolution to 1280x1024 or lower, but I run into a problem where as soon as you remove the other monitor and restart, WIndows tries to "plug & play" the monitor all over again at startup. So you're best bet really is a newer monitor unfortunately, I only use my old Norcent monitor with my XP computer.
What you need to locate is the driver for your video card, could you please provide the model for your base unit / pc and we can locate those for you. Please add them under comments on here.
Have you tried setting the resolution using display settings in control panel? Go to control panel search for display. There you will find option to select monitor and resolution.
Have you tried adjusting the screen resolution in Control Panel - Display - Settings and moving the slider on Screen resolution? Normally a monitor such as Samsung LCD would be able to display a higher resolution. If you cannot adjust the Screen resolution in Display - Settings then it may be that the correct video driver was not installed or is corrupted. To check if the video diver is OK, go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device manager and click on Display adapter. Check that your display adapter is OK and working. If you see a yellow ? against the video adapter or a standard VGA adapter was installed then you need to re-install the video driver for your model graphics card.
I had the same problem with my HP LCD. I'll turn on the monitor and it will run auto adjust and set everything to the max making the screen very bright. What I did was remove the button panel board and put it back. Everything works fine since then.
