I remember a previous post of yours that stated the monitor works OK on another computer... It "could" be the monitor with an intermittent problem. If there was another monitor to try, I would, just to eliminate that possibility.
I consulted my repair and service disk (I bought on ebay for $10.00) and it says to reset the cuda button. It is inside near the back (center) and is square, and very small. Other suggestions range from the processor card, the video ram, and ridiculously the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor (I would ignore this as you stated before that it worked when connected to another computer) I would consider buying one of those CD's offered on ebay for around $10.00 that says they give you all the info on all the computers. I realize that the info is probably for free out there, but finding it might not be easy and it is frowned upon to post links to those sites on this list. As a note of caution (stating the obvious) use an anti static strap when going inside your computer and try to avoid touching the chips etc. without grounding yourself. Just grasping for straws here... but, make sure that the processor card, ram, cache card, and video ram are all seated properly and snugly, and ensure the video cable is also secured snugly to the video port on the back of your 7300. Sorry, I can't be more helpful, and I hope that you resolve your difficulty soon. Kevin P.S. It might be your battery also. I would test it or at the very least remove it and check its manufacture date, just on the off chance...
