1911 Beta

So for some reason my monitor is blinking, going black for a split second about 10 times a minute or so. I haven't used the monitor in about a year, and it was working fine when I last did. I've already reinstalled all video drivers, so I'm not sure if it's something else with my laptop, or the monitor itself. Any help would be great.

does it do it in safemode?

If it's blinking in safemode, try with a external monitor.

Sounds like the video drivers are recovering from an error and resetting. Like they already said, try it in safe mode to verify.

doesnt do it in safe mode

Probably a driver issue then. Does it only go black when you are playing games / utilizing alot of the GPU or does it do it while you are just sitting at the desktop as well?

does it while desktop is showing and any page

run both , i've seen some recent rootkits cause this particular issue.

Didnt do anything.. and I have windows 7 64 so do i still use the other thing anyway?

Reinstall your video drivers.


Too clarify: REMOVE your video drivers, then install them again. If still having issues download http://www.malwarebytes.org/ free version, install,update boot in safemode and run scan.
