The Monitor is powered separately. This problem happens when I switch
off the monitor using the switch on the monitor itself while the power
is still on. I have also noticed the same problem with a PII 350, 440BX,
LG 17" Monitor combo at my friends place. I have also replicated the
problem thr' Win98 & Win98SE. Is it a problem due to the fact that we
both have ATX power supplies (unlike the earlier P8+P9 connectors)... If
so what do I do ?

Sounds strange, but if you connect monitor power to CPU box, the power
supply may be the problem. The best way to operate is always NOT using
power
supply to pass power to monitor. From the old days, a good technical
always
turn on monitor first then the computer, when turn off, off the computer
first then monitor. (when I bought my monitor, the power core in box was
a
pass-by cable, I asked the dealer to exchange to a normal cable)
