Re: Computer question
Sounds like it may be your VGA (Video Card).

Re: Computer question
is there a button on the front of the monitor that switches between inputs? I once had to "fix" a dozen new monitors because they were set for the digital cable, but the analog cable was plugged in......
Most new monitors can have two computers plugged into one monitor, and there is a switch to alternate which computer you are using. If it's on the other input, and there is no computer, you'll get this kind of problem.

Yes, but most monitors have two inputs. If your computer is plugged into input A, but input B is selected, it won't display.
