    Screen goes blank for a couple seconds every so often

     
    Hey everybody,

    I've been having a problem with my display lately that I haven't been able to figure out.

    My screen goes blank for roughly 1-2 seconds about 2-3 times daily. Does anyone have any ideas for what could be causing this? Here are my system specs:

    Monitor:

    Westinghouse 19" LCD Monitor L1928NV

    VideoCard:

    MSI N9600GT-MD1G GeForce 9600 GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

    Processor:

    AMD Athlon II X2 250 Regor 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Processor Model ADX250OCGQBOX - Retail

    Motherboard:

    GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

    Thanks in advance!

    Just randomly, or are there specific conditions? For example, does it only do this in video games or while watching videos?

    It seems to happen regardless of what I'm doing on the computer, be it playing video games or browsing the web. I don't think I've ever notice it happen while I wasn't using the computer however.

    You didn't list your PSU... Have you added/removed any software/hardware lately?

    Here's my psu specs:

    XCLIO GREATPOWER X14S4P4 750W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Retail

    Also, I have a dual monitor set-up, one to my Westinghouse display and the other to my HDTV. The Westinghouse display seems to be the only one that is turning off.
