Check that all the wires are hooked up properly and plugged in, as well as make sure your power is on on the monitor as you never have to touch that button for powering on/off with the computer you turn it on and leave it on - the moniter should also do a self test. If that don't work your monitor might be shot but always get a second opinion and someone to look at it just incase.

If it has been working normally before this--no black border--then the monitor may have become unplugged from the computer. Shut down the computer.

This depends on what computer and what monitor we are talking about. Back in the old days the monitor had no two way contact withthe comuter and controlled nothing.

Before entering to CMOS setup my computer re-starts and always re-starting.?
Pull everything out of the slots and disconnect everything from the back except the keyboard and mouse. If the problem still occurs, disconnect the disk drive. If it STILL occurs, you have either a motherboard or a power supply problem. If you can get the computer to boot without shutting down, start adding the peripherals back, one at a time and see when the problem comes back.
