[SOLVED] Display Keeps Blinking

Sometimes after the computer comes out of sleep mode the display blinks off and on. And just keeps doing it. This only seems to happen in a browser window IE or FireFox. Doesn't happen on the desk top. If I leave it alone to go back to sleep it usually awakens and works fine again.

Any ideas?
Thanks...

Probably has something to do with your drivers. Check to be sure you have the latest video card driver and monitor driver.

I had the latest ATI drivers downloaded from this site. I looked around and found new moniter drivers and installed those also. We shall see how that goes now !

Do you have a crt or a lcd monitor?

Samsung 205BW is a 20" Wide Screen Digital LCD Moniter.

Latest ATI Radeon Drivers are v9.12

When I did the clean install the drivers on 12/12/09 were 9.11. I doubt installing the 9.12 will help but I will check the read me file to see what the change / update was mainly for.

This might be a long shot but did you update all of you're motherboard's drivers to the latest version. You're ACPI might be messing around.

As far as I know all drivers are up to date now. So far it hasn't done it again since I updated the Moniter drivers so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. As soon as I'm sure its alright I'll mark this post
* Solved *

I just remembered that problem happened to me a few years ago with an nVidia card.

Is the graphics onboard your motherboard or is it a separate video card? If it's separate you may have a thermal interface compound issue. My card's thermal compound had separated and was causing the card to overheat.
