A easy way would be to pop down to your local electronics store and purchase a USB thumb drive. 4GB would be a good size at a low price. This will allow you to transfer your files off of the old computer and then load them on the new computer. Just check your old PC and make sure that it has USB ports.

There are many potential causes. It may be due to power-saving settings or features on the computer. It could be a failing monitor or monitor cable, or a loose cable.
