LCD Monitor blinks for 10-15 minutes when I first turn it on. What to do?

Asked by SirBailey (3130

Viewsonic VX910 LCD display worked fine with Windows XP machine. With new Vista machine, the monitor blinks on and off for about 15 minutes first thing in the morning. The only solutions I have thus far are not great. Either I 1. Wait it out, OR 2. Reboot, OR 3. Open my account (which is not easy to do since the screen is flickering). Any suggestions on how to fix this?

see if it works

if it doesn’t work check to see if your video card is loose. If it isn’t loose you either have a bad monitor, bad video card, or the wrong driver.

@MrGeneVan, if it was a bad video card, would it only have that ONE problem?
