Monitor, HDMI cable or Mainboard faulty ?

[Amsterdan]

would like to seek for some assistance.

recently whenever I boot up my computer, the PC will run, but the monitor will go into "sleep mode", the monitor power button will just flash n flash, and screen will show monitor will enter safe mode. The monitor didnt show anything, just a black screen.

The PC however will continue to run, so I need to reset the PC a few times, then finally the monitor can get signal from the PC and finally show out.

Previously I also have this problem, and I have already replaced my monitor from a Samsung to a Dell. Graphics card I also change.

but recently, this problem surfaced again, so I'm not sure is it the monitor spoilt again? it has only been 1 year since I bought the monitor. Graphics card around 1/2 year ago bought.

any experts here can assist? Thanks in Advance

Your monitor is fine.

There are a few things you can try - (1) replace the CMOS battery; (2) re-seat the memory and GPU; (3) clean the RAM contacts (the gold parts).

It's a fairly common problem but has a myriad of causes. Takes a bit of trouble-shooting to diagnose the cause.
