Monitor Keeps Blacking Out

BIGRED90 · 08-23-2004, 12:19 AM

I have a new monitor Samsung SyncMater 213T.
I dont' know if this is relevant, but I have it set up as a dual monitor set up.
The monitor randomly goes black for a few seconds and comes back.
Anybody have any idea?

Hi bigred,
You could try changing your monitors refresh frequency to a higher resolution than the current one.Change in the display settings of your monitor.
Good Luck

And there's no other selection.

I have a feeling it might be a bug in the monitor power saving options? Have you checked your power settings just to make sure there is nothing wrong?

I've looked thru the literature that came with the monitor, but there isn't much help there.

I have the exact same problem as red, the monitor keeps blacking out frequently and comes back on after 15 seconds. I have a Nokia 447Za, Is there anything i can do to fix this?

So, you have the same problem...
Let me know if you are able to fix it.
I called both the card maker and the Samsung and I still have no solution.
I'm about to just get another video card.
