Wow, when reading all the posts after mine, it seems everyone is overthinking the problem. In my experience with troubleshooting, the first thing to do is elminate the possibilities. (especially the simple ones)
So, I'll repeat my first post, check the video card first.
Afterall, the 5 volt signal which allows a monitor to power-on comes from it.
Swapping out a cheap card takes just a few minutes and will either pinpoint the problem or lead you in the direction to look for the problem.
Clearing the CMOS...CPU issues, I don't see how any of those can cause such a symptom in the first place. This is a power issue and they have nothing to do with providing [electrical] power to a graphics card(and consequently to the monitor).
i had a cpu tht did tht what i did was kick the shit of of the side of it until it would turn off then i would turn it back on and it worked, i had to do this several times. haha
