I have a new build, i7, 4870, and a Samsung 245BW monitor. Everything has been working great since late last year.

This morning, I turned on the computer and monitor, and the monitor displayed a message, "No signal", or something like that. When I got home this afternoon, the same thing happened.

Connections are tight, 4870 is in solid, and no signal to the monitor. So, I turned off the monitor (not the computer), and turned it back on, and everything works fine.

So, for a number of on/off cycles today, I was receiving no video signal, now I am. First time this has happened before, so I don't think static is an issue, although it is dry here in Colorado. Computer is located off the floor, no static discharges when I touched the monitor or computer.

Any thoughts? Thought of doubling up on monitors and video cards, just in case. :love:

Have you taken out your video card and tried re-seating it?

Have you checked the connections on the back of the monitor and the at the video card?

Have you checked to make sure the power cable is in tight?

Have you checked the pwr cable from the power supply to the video card?

You may want to try another cable.

I had this issue as well with my 2253bw. Does it work with a vga cable? Try reinstalling drivers and forcing your card to display digital if you're using dvi. Samsung should have drivers for that monitor as well.
