    Sometimes when I start my pc,the screen is black.Maybe after a minute,it pops on.Than it will randomly go on and off a couple times.Then the screen is fine.

    Monitor:Viewsonic A90
    AMD Duron 1.6M on SiS M810D
    256M RAM
    SiS 650_651_M650_M652_740 video

    Just started happening.Any help I'd appreciate.

    Have you checked both ends of the connection on your monitor, power and signal?.
    Does the monitor make any sound when restarting ie like its degaussing?.
    After the monitor is stable try tapping it and moving the cables to check for loose/broken connections.

    From your specs it looks like you have onboard vga, if not remove and reseat the graphics card.

    If all else fails try a friends monitor on it :)

    Good Luck
