Monitor doesn't power back on during reboots

Monitor doesn't power back on during reboots

I'm using an ATi Radeon 9600xt AGP 8x 256mb video card on Windows XP Pro SP2 on EPoX EP-8KRAIPRO Socket A (Socket 462) VIA KT880 ATX AMD Motherboard. Ever since I installed the card and mobo, when I reboot my monitor doesn't power back on (not just *this* monitor, my uncle's CRT didn't come back on either). I can't figure out why the monitor doesn't come back on, I have to do it manually. It will go into what I guess is sleep mode and just stays that way. I have to turn it off and turn it back on. The power settings in the desktop properties are all set to never.

Any ideas how to fix it so that it will just power itself back on?

An update: figured out the nfo and cfg stuff; I goofed and copied the speedfan.exe into startup instead of just a shortcut to it. Sorted all that out.

Monitor still doesn't come on, but oh well. Not too concerned about it.

On another note...my E drive disappeared, seems my IDE controller card decided to kick the bucket or something because the drive itself is fine. Had to unhook the D to hookup the E (5 devices all together, hence the controller card). Next step: replace those two drives with a huge SATA drive.
