Is the BIOS configured to use the correct slot type for the video? Often
there is a setting where you choose which video device to boot from first,
PCI or AGP. If you have an AGP video card, set this to use AGP video first.

Probably some wire that is almost broken in the monitor cable.
Have you been bending that cable a lot?

It happens on at least 3 different monitors.

Ah, sorry. I read it the other way around.

Try another PSU then, it might not deliver enough voltage at boot-time.
The "Codegen 300X" is a known trouble-maker..

I`ve heard of this before if the problem persists I`ll try that.
