COMPUTER WILL NOT SWITCH MONITOR ON

It will either be a fault within the monitor, though I would tend to a fault
on the switching circuit of your pwr supply.
If you can test with another monitor that will rule out a monitor prob.

Your statement "monitor bleeps" (beeps) and then things work - indicates
monitor not at fault. The beep (by the computer)indicates that the computer
has performed a successful POST (Power on self test) - try holding the
on\off button in for a few seconds when starting the computer.

When your monitor does not come on, does the computer do anything at all;
beeps, etc.? Does it appears to boot, just no monitor? Fans start up and
the computer just sits there with the HD light on constantly (No flickers)?
