Hello there, this is the problem:

After a few days that I changed my video card to a 9800GX2, my monitor has been having quite a problem. Whenever I turn on the monitor for the first time in a day, the monitor does not display anything. The power button of my monitor blinks at most times in this problem. But after a few minutes the monitor is already displaying correctly. Of course, the monitor still works but the problem is its not good for me to wait for minutes just for the monitor to display.

At the time the monitor displays nothing, I can hear from my speakers that my system is already in idle status. So yes, the problem is in my monitor. I tested plugging my monitor into my laptop and the same issue happens. This problem only exists at the very first time I turn on my computer in a day or in a prolonged period.

Anyways, my monitor is a Samsung 743NX 17" LCD Monitor. Does anyone know how long the warranty is for monitors? This monitor is nearly 1.5 years old already. If this is still under warranty then I might just bring it into a Samsung Service Center

Thanks for your time
