Monitor shuts off during boot up.

Guest · Jul 5, 2013

Having trouble setting up a new PC. After installing Windows 7 Home Premium x64, the monitor shuts off just before the sign on window should appear. It will boot fine using safe mode. It's motherboard is a ZOTAC 880G Motherboard with integrated AMD Radeon HD 4250 Graphics. Tried the AMD Radeon HD 4250 Graphics driver on the included CD and downloaded the latest driver. Also downloaded and installed the latest monitor driver. No luck, it still shuts off just before the log in screen. Monitor is a Dell E228WFP taken from a Zotac ZBOX Plus ZBOX-ID80-PLUS-U Nettop Computer. I can uninstall the AMD Radeon HD 4250 Graphics software & driver using the device manager and it will boot without a driver, get a warning that I need to update the graphics driver. Even without installing or updating the driver, the monitor will shut off just before the log in screen after restarting the computer. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

i'll suggest you reseat the RAM and everything then try again

I will try after I hear from the company I purchased the computer from, afraid of voiding the warranty.

Thinking of trying an external USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter. Would this be better quality than the standard vga adapter that it uses after I uninstall the ATI radeon 4250 driver and software? I'm not a gamer, but do watch movies on my computer.

When I restart the computer after uninstalling the ATI driver, it automatically downloads and installs the ATI driver. Can I prevent this?

Are there any PCI express x1 video cards that will work with a 200watt power supply?

Carl Angelo De Leon :

try the gt 220 ddr2, it should work. also, reseatting will not void the warranty, removing the fan from the GPU will indeed remove the warranty, overclocking will remove the warranty to. if you want to prevent the automatic downloading of the drivers, remove the ethernet cable so that when you boot, you're not connected to the internet and try to troubleshoot without connection.
and dont use usb 3 connector, hdmi is better.

I booted up using the latest ATI drivers and as before the monitor shut off just before the log in screen. However, after sitting idle it went into sleep mode. When I woke it up, the monitor came on, but still shuts off just before the log in screen when rebooting.

Memory is •4GB DDR2 800 Mhz Ram

I'm physically unable (quadriplegia) of re-seating the RAM, but will ask someone to help me with it later today.

Yeah, that's beginning to look like the only option. I've contacted the seller, so far their only suggestion is to keep reinstalling Windows. I'm going to try another few monitors today.

I got it to work, turned out to be a faulty hdmi to dvi adapter.
