if you use Windows System, right click on Desktop -> Click "Properties" -> Click "Setting" Tab, you can know VGA Mode support for your Monitor.

Check that the cable is firmly connected and plugged into the right connection on the computer. Make sure that the monitor is reading from the right input, (i.e. if it's a blue connection it should be set to VGA/Analog, if white then it should be DVI/Digital) or at least set to Automatic.

This can be configured on the monitor by pressing its' Menu button.

hope this helps you

Hit the Windows Key (or ctrl-escape). Now the cause of the problem is revealed. Right click on the tab on the bottom of the screen that refers to the IE blank page, select minimum or close. I don't know why it does that. I would use Chrome or FireFox, & delete Internet Explorer.

Please check the video cable connections at both ends. Try it with another PC to make sure it is not PC video card problem also.

its not the lights because i plugged in a screen from an old dell laptop and it does the same thing, light turns on and off in a few seconds

The buzzing sound can be from high voltage arcing sound form the connections at the ends of the lamps assemblies, see BAD BACKLIGHT/LAMP albums.
You you shoud check and see if the inverter circuits have 16~18vdc feeding it when it goes black screen. Something likel this you will need test lamps for testing the inverter circuits.
All cpas have completely falt tops, bad caps can look normal but they can have high ESR.
Post pictures of the board will help.

How do you connect the XBOX audio line out to the monitor audio input? If the xbox HDMI output is set to send the digital audio through the HDMI cable, you will not get the sound since you are using HDMI to DVI because the DVI is not made to accept the digital audio. You will need to to use the XBOX analog audio output instead feeding the audio cable with mini stereo phone plugs, please read XBOX user manual.

Switchoff the screen and disconnect all teh cables including the powe cable and press and hold the power button for around 40 sec and now reconnect the cables and try to power up the screen
