My computer monitor will constantly flash black like when the monitor is off and when ever i move my mouse it gets worse. It also will distort the picture so it will be squished togther. I tried using my bros monitor which worked while it was on his computer but when i put it on my computer it freaked out as well. Also my monitor wil work in safe mode and ther will be no problems but i dont like running my computer in safe mode. PLZ HELP.

I have a kflat screen monitor it is a 15in LCD Dell My computer is 3 years old and this is the first problem i have had with the monitor i have done spyware scans and virus scans and they have found nothing Whenever i do a system restore it seams to flash less but it still does. I have Windows XP and a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 graphic card. I have checked for updates but i will keep looking. i have checked the monitor cable and that is in correctly.

Your drivers have been hosed. Reinstall the drivers to correct the issue. If that doesn't work, then it might be the video card.

Hi What is your monitor beside, if it is the actual Hard Drive this will eventually distort the view on the monitor. I monitor is ok sitting on top of a monitor because it has the stand and the monitor is a few inches away from the actual hard drive. But if you have your monitor right beside the tower, if it is to close it will cause the distortion.

install the correct video driver that is compatible withe your video card.
Otherwise replace the videocard. Check also the power supply to monitor and also check the hardware.

You didn't give much info but my guess is that the refresh rate set in your software is higher than your monitor was built to use. Anyhow, try setting your monitor options back to defaults.

It has happened to me till now. in accordance with very own journey. i've got thought having the... (what d'you call that area returned?) tricolor tube (or something like that) replaced, however the repairman stated it ain't properly worth it. no longer because of the fact the wear and tear replaced into previous restoration, "it purely does no longer be properly worth it" he stated, because of the fact pc video exhibit units are greater decrease priced or no longer that high priced in recent times. So, I purely offered a clean one.

Is the monitor flat screen or not. if it is flat screen i can't help you. the non-flat screen monitor i can help you with.
You whack the side of the moitor. Not so hard that it breaks but enough so it goes back to normal

I had the problem my monitor was rebooting all the time. I tighten up the connections and it works fine.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.

Seems like there's something wrong with your graphics drivers. Try reinstalling them.
