Default Black Monitor

What happens is... When I reboot I get the splash screen, bios screen and
then Windows boot screen. Once windows is running the monitor goes black,
green light on meaning I have a signal. Unplug monitor it says no signal.
Reboot and unplug monitor and after beep, plug in and beautiful picture.
Monitor is Compaq MV740, Vid. Card EVGA FX5200 latest drivers, Mobo Biostar
m7ncd. Swapped monitor Sony/Dell p990 same; Swapped Vid. Gainward GE4 Ti4200
same. I'm at my wits end it has been this way for quite awhile.

Default Black Monitor

And what happens when you boot up to safe mode?

If the screen comes 'good' then uninstall the monitor and video adapter and
reboot: allow Windows to autodetect on boot up and install the correct
drivers.

It will work OK with default drivers. Any time I install new drivers it does
the same old thing.

You need to install the CORRECT new drivers. Use card manufacturers web
site, NOT windows update!

I've tried the drivers from EVGA and from Nvidia. I've even gone back into
the archives and tried older versions.

That's a puzzler! How about what is windows showing in Device Manager
for a monitor? Delete any non-plug and play.
