Monitor issues, black flickering screen on power up.
Hey guys, usually pretty self sufficient when it comes to hardware issues but i have no experience with monitors going awry and seek some advice.
The issues a relatively simple one, when first starting the computer there is a problem with the monitor getting power, the power light stays off and the screen, completely black flickers making a clicking noise gaining a very slight gain in brightness all the while the power light staying off.
After unplugging from the power, and disconnecting the vga connection a couple of times eventually the power light comes on and the screen works.
During use there are no issues with the picture and it works fine, it is only when the computer has been shut down and the screen off for a period of time i have this issue getting it back on.
Any help as to what it is appreciated i suspect it has come to the end of it's life as it is almost 3 years old now.
The monitor in question is a GNR, showing as a plug and play on devices and running of a gforce 8500 gt.
Thanks in advance
