Monitor goes blank sometimes for no apparent reason. The LCD light starts flashing like its in sleep mode and the only way to get it to come back on is to force a reboot (only happens while gaming). I have updated all drivers and there is no system crash when this happens. If you have any ideas PLEASE let me know pc is home built. amd athlon 2.8 duel core black chip asus m3n72-d mootherboard geforce 9600 graphics card 2 gigs ddr2 500 gig sata drive Samsung Syncmaster 210t monitor
You really need to isolate the problem to either the computer or the monitor. So the first thing is to swap the monitor with another computer and see if the problem follows the monitor to the 2nd computer, or stays with the first.
