Hello everyone.
Here is my problem:
I start the PC, then after 3 seconds the monitor turn black, when it loads a little more, it displays the normal booting thing then black again after 2 seconds, when the OS loadin screen pops it turn again on for like 2 seconds then black again. If I stop the monitor(only the monitor) and then I repress the on/off button it works for 3 seconds then black again. I have to press the on/off button on the monitor to restart it a lot of times until it stays open. Any ideas ? (It happened to me in the past with other monitor and I couldn't fix it.)
PS: The light on the little bulb is alway on when this happends.
Edit: I also bought new RAM yesterday.

It does boot up completely, as I said, if I restart the monitor a few times it works, but like 7 - 8 months ago I had the same issue with another monitor that I've changed because I haven't manage to fix it in time....

TD;LR : The computer boots up, everything, keyboard, mouse, even the headset. But I have to press the on/off button on the monitor 3 - 4 times in order to start working normally.

Hmm, being a video solution the first thing I would look into is the graphics card. It doesn't sound like its a RAM or some other hardware issue because the PC completely boots up. Does the motherboard have onboard video? Can you pull the card out and test that way?

Is there any ways of fixing the problem without changing the motherboard?
