Running Win 7 64 bit
I just got back home from school and right after I set up my computer, one of my monitors started turning off after 1 second, staying black for 1 second, turning back on for 1 second, then repeating this cycle continuously. I can't identify the source of the problem. Here's what I have tried:
1. restart the computer - same issue
2. switch the DVI cords between monitors - same issue on the same monitor
3. change the main display - same issue on the same monitor
4. turn down the brightness as far as possible on the problematic monitor - same issue on the same monitor
5. unplug the good monitor, so that only the problematic one is connected - problem solved, but now I only have 1 monitor
6. turn off all power saving options in windows - same issue
The computer is only 3 years old and the problematic monitor is only 1 year old.
This seems to be a power issue right? When I set up the computer, all three power cords were bundled together, two saying 10A 125V and one with no labels. I originally connected both monitors to the labeled ones and the computer to the unlabeled one, but then I switched them to see if that was the issue. It wasn't (same problem), so I switched them back. I have an Antec 620W PSU
What else can I try? I haven't changed any hardware or software since I left for school, and everything was working for a year before that.
