insane behaviour from monitor

I have gone through many strange problems with this monitor, which leads me to believe it maybe something else causing it. If its not the monitor it may have something to do with my bios? I clocked the cpu, then unclocked by setting everything in the bois to default, since then i get and error when i start saying "floppy disk fail press f1 to

continue" which is fine because i have no floppy drive.

The problems are, oldest problem first.

1. Failing to turn on straight away, so i had to press the on/off button a few times to get it to work. Which slowly got worse.

2.So i decided to leave the monitor on all the time, when the pc is off, all night long the monitor goes through stages of turning itself on - orange light(standby) - blue

light(on) - no connection message on screen - off, it does this all night.

PLEASE READ: Also when i get out of bed it somehow detects me and turns on, if i don't turn the pc on right away it will go off (stop its cycle of on/off) and take ages to

come back on again.

3. Now sometimes when i change operating systems, it will take ages to switch back on.

4. Now when the screen saver comes on the monitor will switch itself off and take ages to come back on.

5. The latest thing is, when i start the pc the monitor will turn of (after being on all night) and i'll have to resort to pressing the on/off button loads to get it on, or

booting up, and that usually jump starts it.

Hi,

Well that sounds like a broken/ faulty monitor to me!

Do you have another one to swap it out?
