Could it be as simple as the refresh rate is wrong?
Monitor flashing?

I wouldn't think it is the refresh rate because it works correctly for a while, then goes out. In my experience with refresh rates, what usually happens is someone sets it really high, then hits OK. The screen goes nuts or blank, then you reboot in safe mode to reset it.
The power management setup is a good suggestion, Soundguy. That should be turned off to see if the problem goes away.

Do you have a fan sitting near by? We've seen that cause quite a few problems as well. It is pretty interesting trying to track a problem down when the problem is intermittent - based upon how hot the guy in the next cube is. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We had the same problem with our HP Pavilion running Windows 98. After fighting the problem for a couple of years, we figured out how to cure it. We bought a Dell Dimension. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The oscillating fans are great. "The monitor flickers, then stops, then flickers, then stops... I think it is bad." Not to pick on anyone, all of us have our talents, but some folks just can't make that correlation between the little desk fan sitting right next to their monitor swinging back and forth and the monitor flickering in time with the swing of the fan. I've had a few of those moments in my life(more than I care to admit), so I just reach over and turn off the fan for them. Most folks get it at that point. A couple did not. I had to turn the fan on and off a few more times for them to get it. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

My nextel makes many monitors behave flaky... when a call comes in I know before the phone rings... I can't say it would cause your problem of the screen acting like it's going off or in sleep mode as mentioned about the power management issue...
It just make them flicker/pulsate. If you are in a cublicle or string of office's see if some near you has recently plugged in a partable heater under their desk. It can cause the same semptoms as a fan or trip the ckt all together.

Old timers use to say about a horse with a broken leg is best to just shoot it and move on.
I wonder if it's the same with computers?
