Dell 1501 screen goes black for 1 sec before back to normal

I have a Dell 1501. Everything's been working fine for the past two years, until a while ago when I suddenly got the BSOD. I figured I didn't install something right, so I did a system restore. After that, it's been alright...except for one little glitch: every time I start up the computer, I can log in and everything, and while desktop is starting, the screen goes black for a second and then returns to normal.

It's not affecting anything, only that it's annoying and I want it to stop.

Any help would be appreciated:)

Sounds like your video card to me. Try updating drivers for your video card. If that doesnt solve it I would look at buying a new card.

Try reseating the ram or try using the ram stick in an available slot . If that does not seem to work. Check if there is any throttling issues. Try running the computer only on the power and remove the battery .

Black screen

It seems your Operating system has corrupted, Its best to use Windows Installation CD to perform Recovery Installation. You can Use the DELL Disk. Before proceed Make sure you have your backup. If you need some advanced access to files you can use UBCD.

Monitor goes blank less than a second after turning on.

I start my computer and turn it on, and everything looks fine for about 1/4 of a second and then it goes black while leaving the power light green. I can only see the screen again after turning it off and on, but that's only for another 1/4 second. What's up?
I got my rosewill flatscreen as a hand me down from my father. I've had it for several years now. Was working fine until a month ago. When I turn the computer on the screen goes black after 1/4 of a saecond. I have to turn it off and on anywhere from 10 to 20 times before it stays on. I have checked all plugs to the computer and outlets. I have absolutely no idea whats causing this.
