No Screen signal

Hi all, I am really new at Linux and Knoppix. I just downloaded and burned the knoppix cd. It seems to start fine and as it gets to the bit just about a second before the voice says "initializing sequence" then my monitor goes blank. and then it I type exit then it comes back and then I have to reboot ?

I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX5200

Any ideas please ?

That's just the thing I don't get any errors. The last thing I see before the screen dies is Starting X11. . . . . .

I had the same problem myself for a while. Figured out it was the vsync. It seems like my monitor doesn't like xfree86's default settings.
