          @thebear123 Sounds like very power hungry display.
          Running from the same power supply?

                  @thebear123 can you give me the model number and brand of the monitor? We could help you set the correct resolution if we knew more about the monitor

                        @thebear123 so you need to open up /boot/config.txt and change your hdmi_mode and hdmi_group to this:

                        hdmi_group=2
                        hdmi_mode=36
                        

                        This is the setting for 1280x1024@75hz

                            @thebear123 Could you uncomment the following line in /boot/config.txt?

                            hdmi_force_hotplug=1
                            

                            This should force a HDMI mode even though your monitor doesn't support it.
