HP Pavilion - the monitor flashes off and...

On start-up, the screen flashes off and on every few seconds, then after about 2 hours suddenly starts working. When I say flashes off and on I mean the screen is black, and then for a millisecond the desktop picture will appear and then it goes black again.

-   My screen will flash for hours on end.. My monitor just came on after 2 days of flashing.. I'm shopping for a new monitor unless there is something I can do to fix this issue myself. Thanks-   gonzo1510

-   I have HP Pavilion notebook - it is back at HP AGAIN, second time after over 12 hours on phone with technical support, exact same problem, they can't fix it, don't know what to do. Just purchased it $1200 in Feb 08, very frustrating.

-   Mine will come on normally for a second or so, then goes blank. Turning it off/on just repeats the problem. I'm hoping for a solution I can perform myself.-   rmg1600

-   When I start up my computer it goes black and I have to mash the monitor power button to get it to come back up. It stays up for about 2 seconds and then goes black again. I do this repeatedly until finally it just stays up... by repeatedly I mean approximately 50+ times. Very frustrating. What can I do to fix this problem?-   Canky

Pls uninstall the video card drivers and reinstall them.

Also pls look for any graphics driver updates from the manufacturer.

Also pls check if the cable from the power supply for the graphics is connected on the motherboard.

Pls check with another monitor if it is doing the same thing.
If the same happens with another monitor, then it is an issue with the video card..
