Ok, so I recently purchaced a Westinghouse LVM-42w2 and hooked my computer up to it through one of the DVI ports. For the most part everything works great, but occasionaly, mostly with some websites like google mail, the screen will start flashing in and out. When this occurs, the screen goes blank and then comes back up, but the TV does not show any message indicating that it lost the signal. Once I close the browser window it stops flashing. This never occurs when at the desktop, and I can open my browser (both firefox and IE) and let it sit on the home page forever and nothing happens. I've played WoW for a few hours since hooking it up, and have only seen the problem once when playing. I restarted WoW and it's worked fine ever sense. I've tried to narrow it down to a particular website or something else, but its so random its hard to figure out. One time a site will work fine, the next it will start flashing again. Anyone ever see this before or have any idea whats going on? I'm going do the obligitory "load the latest drivers," "google search," and swtich DVI ports, but I figured I'd go ahead and post to see if anyone has any suggestions. Personally I think my PC is possessed
Oh, and its flashed twice on me while posting this, but stopped after the second flash. 9/6/2006 7:15:40 PM |

Refresh Rate is set at 60hz which is what the TV supports. Is there anything I can do? Its not a huge problem, just a random annoyance really, but if I can fix it I'd like to. Also, to be clear, the flashing isn't a regular flash, but rather one where the screen will go blank for a period of time, and come back on for a period of time, but how long its on and off for is random as well. I.e. it will go off for a second, come back on for half a second, go off for 3 seconds, come on for a second, go off for half a second and then come on...etc. I'll google that and see if I can find something from there as well.
