Unhappy Solved: Monitor Blinks Off/On When Computer Attached
Greetings All,

I have an LG 60" Plasma and I have connected my Home system to it (older one) and it boots up and works fine except that the screen turns on and off...not physically but goes black then back to the screen...this repeats at random intervals constantly.

Specs:

Windows XP/SP3
Radeon 9600 series Graphics
It's a three year old HP computer. Not sure of the MB/CPU at the moment, but pretty sure that's not the issue.

I've updated the ATI drivers, and I have swapped out the TV to a monitor and found that it doesn't happen on the monitor. So, I'm considering that it might be that the Graphics Card doesn't have enough juice to power the monitor.

However, the picture is very crisp when it isn't black, lol...and I've installed XBMC on it and can watch movies with no sluggishness other than the blinking.

So, I'm not sure what more I can do...I think it just might be a setting in the Catalyst Console, or something maybe on the TV, but really can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Seth
