Monitor turns off

I have just started having problems with monitor turning off at random
times.

I have a brand new GForc 6600 AGP 256 MB video card.  I have put the
card in another computer and it doesn't turn off like it did in mine.
I even move the monitor to the other computer and it stays on.  

I have had the video card for a month now but just started using XP SP2
and all this started happening.  I have checked the power options and I
have standby and montior off to never.  Can't figure this one out.  

The only thing that turns off is monitor, or should I say the view, I
stil get the yellow/green blinking light like it waiting for something.
I can reboot and it all comes back on but only to go off again, this is
never at the same time.

My system
windows xp sp2
cpu 3.09 Ptm 4
1.5 GB Memory
450 watt power

Thanks for any help

A couple of things come to mind

1) Cable connections. Check the video cable connections including
   the power connector to the video card (I think this card needs
   needs extra power)

2) Weak or Bad Power Supply. Try turning off any secondary devices
   like second HD's etc.
