Re: New Monitor/Trouble Booting

Are you sure that your video card is completely seated and working? I
interpret your description as an indication that the monitor is receiving no
signal from the PC - sometimes when people swap monitors they jiggle the
video card out of the slot just enough to kill the connection. This is one
possible cause of your problem.
