Ok, recently, my graphics card started doing this:
So i did the sensible thing and got it replaced (2 days left on warranty too, phew) and now, when i start up my piece a' shit, the monitor says "no connection" and i press the reset button and it starts up properly. Strangely enough, this never happened with my old graphics card.
Thoughts?

Why should drivers affect the startup screen? I'm talking about the preliminary screens, where it counts your ram cpu clock and soforth, not in windows problems.

It's vga, although i could dvi dongle it up .
It all seems to be fine, and i don't get why restarting it makes it work?

Try removing the card and cleaning the contacts thoroughly with a piece of dry cloth, or even toilet paper. Don't touch them with your fingers... a lot of times a whole computer would fail constantly and all I did was clean those contacts in the processor and cards and it was all fine.
