Mando, Try safe mode (Press F8 as soon as it boots). Also, if possible try your monitor on another tower or laptop.

I turned the computer off and tried it again. Same thing happened,As it is booting up and starts to show win 98 screen,the monitor will draw in from the sides and shuts off. If I turn the mon.on and leave the comp.off,the monitor will stay on.Don't know much about computers but is it possible that the computer itself or the os be causing the problem? The unit is about 4 yrs old.If I can't figure it out by the time I go home,I am going to bring an extra monitor from home and try it.Just thought I would ask and see. Thanks.
