Tom ,
I hope you didn't mind me shortening your letter in order to answer the
question  you asked me .What happens is that the computer turns on and the
lights flash then everything goes dead.When I remove the monitor the
computer boots up as normal.
I've looked at the pins but they're not bent ,which is what one og us
already suggested it might be.So I don't know what's happening.
Thanks,
Tony
