It would help to know OS=Operating System & pc specs. Have you gone into the Control panel>Power options to see what the monitor setting are set to?
 
tnx for the quick respomse.

im using windows xp. im using 2g ram and an ati video card. i think its 521mb. i think my driver installer is ok because i used to install using that ever since. last night, i was able to boot not in normal but in "enable vga mode". its better than in safe mode cause i was able to install microsoft word, vb.net etc. the problem is im still not booting it in normal and it shuts down when i change resolution. thanks
 
video card?

i found a part of the problem. he cant anymore handle my resolution. last time, my resolution is 1152x864.highest bit. i fixed it by making it low bit. every time i try to make it at least medium it shuts down the monitor but cpu is still running. any ideas?
