Check the continuity of the EDID pins on the VGA cable - I had exactly this problem and solved it by replacing the VGA cable. Check pins 9,1,11,12 and 15 to be sure the cable is OK, and perhaps use contact cleaner on the connectors if the cable works OK on other monitors. Hopefully it will not be a problem with the monitor - only a cheap cable that is faulty.
