    Is the vga lead securely on, does it do it in safe mode?

    It sounds like either a loose wire causing it to actually turn off, or if you have been trying to change your resolution, you may have chosen one that is too high for you monitor to display.

    Try starting in safe mode and seeing if it actually stays on.
