Somebody sold me an Acer 22 inch LCD monitor for a very good price. I hooked it up to my 2nd computer first. It powered up and showed no signal, then the Dell spalsh screen, the the XP splash screen, but then went dark before reaching the desktop. Tried different monitor & power cords. Tried it on my other computer with DVI connection, same thing. Wonder why it would have a picture till it was booted, then nothing, not even a menu would come up?
