Monitor goes out

[Guest]

Specs:
ASUS P4P800-X Mobo
ATI Radeon 9800 SE
Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz

When I turn on the computer, it shows the motherboard name, then Windows XP
loading screen, then after that the monitor blacks out, as in the No Signal
Input or Cable Disconnected message comes up. I restart, press Start Windows
Normally, Windows XP loads, same thing.

Sometimes after several attempts I am able to get in. So one time I updated
Windows XP and got Catalyst 6.8 Worked for a few days then problem came out
again.

This afternoon same thing came out, tried restarting lotsa times, opened my
CPU to check inside, turned it on, then it worked..... What the heck!??!?!?!
VGA card has no problem I'm sure. Power supply works too. Please help!

Re start in safe mode and delete Catalyst 6.8.. the ATI site does have
earlier versions available..

The problem already occurred before I even updated the video driver. After I
updated driver, it still had same problem.
