Re:CPU problems
Update these drivers...
directx
motherboard (usually a 3in1 driver set)
montitor
video card
then make sure to set your refresh rate at the appropriate setting. If its set too high it will do weird things on you. Like flicker. A safe rate to run is about 85-100 in 1024x768 res.
If it continues to do it (which it shouldnt) then you have a bad connection somewhere and you should take the monitor back and get another.

Re:CPU problems
Well refresh rate does matter, but it depends on what you rmonitor supports.
and the higher the refresh rate, the higher the strain on the screen but the less flicker you will notice on the screen.
uhm.. try 72 - 75 not 85 - 100 !!

Re:CPU problems
refresh rate will not be causing this. his screen goes off for a few seconds and comes back on. refresh rate is for blink of an eye speed flickering.
high refresh rates..not only does the monitor have to support it, but the vid card aswell.

Re:CPU problems
i had a similar prob last weekend, my monitor would go into sleep mode and wouldn't come out even when i mashed the keyboard (thing with all the letters and numbers on it 
) but when i disconnected it it would say no signal. so i just opened up the tower and reseated the video card and it worked fine after that.

Re:CPU problems
Ok, it hasn't flashed in a while now, but just a minute ago I tried to view a video(no it wasn't ****)and my computer shut down and restarted. When it came back up an "error report" came up and it said the problem was the graphics card. Also, I haven't been able to see ANY videos as of yesterday. I'm guessing my video card took a ----? Any suggestions as to which card to get if it is the problem?
