Hi I wasn't sure where to post this topic but I think I'm in the right place.

My monitor is a syncmaster 2232bw LCD. Only about a year old. Recently I reinstalled windows vista 32bit (clean boot) I've done this before. After the reinstall everything works great no problems at all. I shut down the computer and turn it on and everything is fine, I restart and everything is fine. If I shut down and leave it off for a period of 2+ hours or more then start it up again, my monitor blinks and continues to blink until it reaches the login screen, where it abruptly stops. After that it still works great. Runs on HD 1680x1050, games fine.

So basically, why is it blinking when I turn the computer back on after a 2+ hour rest? Should I try a clean reinstall vista32bit again or is there something else I can do/check?
