- Every time I turn the PC off or reboot it the PC will boot but the monitor WON'T ever ever come on.
- I HAVE to unplug the power leads and wait a few minutes then reboot. Then it works although I think it stays on standby a bit too long and takes awhile to 'find' the signal from the PC
- My PC is also ridiculously slow! I have 1GB of RAM but its only running at 200MHz when it has a 400MHz capacity.
I can update the BIOS myself and hopefully that will help the slowness problem (I can't change Frequency in BIOS manually for some reason)
What I need help with is the monitor problem. I've also tried a substitute monitor that I know is working and had the same problem.
Bad power supply :(
I've only had it a year and a half or two years :(

What do you mean when you say format? All you have to do is use your Recovery Disc's. If you have them use them. Follow the instructions. Defragmenting your hard drive will give you speed. Do it once a week. Do disc clean up. Do not run programs on start up. Clean drive c of unwanted vids and music. Video takes up space big time. Get rid of programs you are not using.
