I have the same monitor and tried every fix available....non worked.
The problem is in ViewSonic's defective internal power supply unit.
The only solution is to purchase a new monitor.
This is what I purchased and it is fantastic:

I have a Viewsonic LCD monitor. i just put a new pc together with an XFXForce
8600GT video card. The problem is when i boot the pc i see the bios screen
fine. it's not until i see 'Micrsoft Corporation' and am about to see the
status bar going back and forth that the screen goes blank and i then see 'No
sginal'. I'm connected using a DVI-I cable. If i unplug the cable from either
the card or monitor and plug it back in i then get video. I sent the monitor
to Viewsonic which they said they fixed a problem. hmmm anyway i'm still
seeing this proble. If i use a VGA cable with a DVI adapter i won't have this
problem. While the LCD monitor was away i used an old CRT monitor with a VGA
cable and had no problem.
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. This is driving me nuts.
