Sounds like a loose cable, cold solder joint, or failing
power supply to me. Open up the case and uplug and plug
back in all cables and cards you associate with the mother-
board. Particularly if you live in a humid climate. We
call this the Florida disease around here.

AOL. I'd even narrow it down to the display card: if the monitor
simply doesn't know the rest of the system is there, I'm guessing
the car has not been properly initialised: it's not receiving the
hardware reset generated by the motherboard(?) at switch-on; when
you press reset, _then_ the display starts up. NB: _wild_ guess.
