ViewSonic Monitor

[SD]

I am using a ViewSonic Monitor V912b.

Booting OS WIN XP after BIOS a small box appears with "No Signal" message,
at times the screen with the message will flash off and on several times
until WINXP with scroll bar appears and the system boots with welcome screen
and eventually with my desktop. There are times when message just stays
still and the screen does not flash. No other problems with monitor.
Resolution, color, shutdown fine. Anybody run into a similar problem?.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have similar monitor and get exactly the same behaviour. It isn't a
problem, the monitor is detecting that the video card isn't providing a
signal at that point in the boot cycle. It's normal and expected.

Incidentally, this has nothing to do with Windows - it happens before it
starts to boot.

Thanks for your reply. Maybe you misunderstood. The message, "No Signal" is
not the problem, I know it's normal, I've had it happen on two other
ViewSonic monitors. The problem is that at that particular time the "No
Signal" message flashes, flickers a great number of times. After so many
days of trying to figure it out I convinced my self the monitor was
defective, I was correct, exchange the monitor since it was less then a
month of purchase day, now everything is fine. It wasn't the message in the
box, but constant rapid flashing of the screen. Thanks again for your reply.

I meant to say the whole screen flashes, flickers.
