Hi,

Just built a new pc (everything new, inc monitor) and having some problems. You boot it up all fine, get past the loading bar for windows xp, then just as it will swap to the login/desktop the monitor loses signal. It is also weird if you reboot the pc the monitor doesn't always detect the pc has been turned on so doesnt come into life.

So far I tried turning all hardware acceleration off for the graphics card in windows, that didn't do anything, also does it with safe mode.

What suggestions do people have to go from here?
 
Just tried a different monitor, still doesn't work. From my knowledge nothing has been changed in the bios, but will check the voltages. Graphics drivers have been reinstalled also.

I remember seeing the refresh rate at 60Hz, plus the res isnt that high really.

PC Specs:
E2140
ATi X1950 Pro
2gb Geil PC2 6400 (2x1Gb)

Little update,

Just tried with only 1 stick of memory installed, so far so good!

Voltages:

NB Vcore = 1.21V
5V = 4.91V
12V = 12.22V
3.3V = 3.26V
Vbat = 3.00V
