          Is this only when you load BF2 or is this every time you boot up your PC, the monitor doesn't work...period.

              do what all those people above said first, then:
              if your video card requires a power source make sure that is plugged in, make sure your video card is IN the agp/PCiexpress slot correctly. Make sure the moniter is plugged in tightly into the video card in the back. (thats a biggie)

              If all these are fine then hook up an old moniter, change the resolution to 800x600 and the refresh rate to 60 and try again with the non-working moniter. Sometimes, certain moniters cannot support higher resolutions and refresh rates even though they say they can if they are old.

                that and make sure that u have it pluged into ur Video card instead of ur Mobo on-board video beacuse if its diabled you would see nothing on it.
