I'm confused, does the monitor work under XP, or not?  If so, then it's 
not really destroyed, is it?  FC6 is probably just feeding it a bad 
signal, and it shuts off to protect itself.  That's what monitors are 
supposed to do.

Are you connecting it to a different machine, or the same machine after 
swapping in a different video card?
