That's more info for you! :)
Might be the PSU is a bit too weak.
I pray my usual mantra and suggest to pull plugs of devices you don't need from the power strip your machine and monitor are connected to. Or try a different distribution of power via another strip.
And keep monitor off before you boot (if possible).
