You see in the past i used my PC for downloading overnight and for this i used to set the Screensaver to work for 2 minutes and turn the monitor off automatically after that. (i never used to turn the Monitor manually by pressing its Power button). This has been going on for atleast 2 years.
Now i would like to ask could the above situation be the reason that is messing up my display.
I guess this can be safely ruled out since the monitor is working fine on your dads PC.
Also I am facing a similar problem right now but the BIOS thing works for me whenever the monitor is refusing to display. Also mine is an LG Flatron L1720B 17" LCD. So our manufacturers too match besides our problem :ashamed:.
Thirdly I have tried changing from GPU to onboard. No relief. The monitor still refuses to display sometimes. And mind you this is random and I havent been able to find any pattern till now.

4) But the Keyboard, yes the keyboard does a really weird thing.The NUM Lock turns On and when i try to turn it OFF, the light still remains ON.
Now there are 2 issues, one is no display and the other is no response from keyboard.
:huh::huh::huh::huh::huh: The same thing is happening with my keyboard too. NUM LOCK pressed ... it does not respond. Mine is a Microsoft Internet Keyboard.
But when attached it to another PC it ran absolutely fine. So I guessed there must be something wrong with my PS2 port.
Also this is the reason I use the jumper to reset BIOS sometimes since the DEL and F2 buttons do not work.
Now that you mention this same problem along with the display problem I am starting to suspect some connection.
I am using Intel DG965RY mobo.
My daily investigations are still on ... lets see if we arrive at any conclusions.
EDIT:
BTW i recently switched from Intel 915GAV mobo to my current one. Previously too my monitor has shown such problem on my old config.
The things I have changed now include
1) Mobo
2) PSU
3) RAM
4) Removed GPU and switched to Onboard
so i guess these things can be ruled out.
