Recently, as of about a week or so, my screen has randomly been going black, then returning to normal a few seconds later. Sometimes it does it again a few seconds after a first spell, sometimes not. I ran DXdiag tests and it says everythings fine, so I guess the moniter is having problems, it's about 4-5 years old and from gateway, checked the wires and everything and they're fine so I'm out of options besides getting help and buying a new moniter. Let me know if you can help.

I'm on:

AMD Athlon 1.7 ghz
GE Force 3 Ti200
384 SDRAM
shuttle KT266A mainboard
12gig harddrive
Windows XP
