Check and make sure that the refresh rate isn't being turned up over the limit for the monitor. I used to have an old monitor that when yoo turned the refresh rate up over 50ish, it would black out, and the only way to reset it was to plug in a different monitor, turn down the refresh rate, and plug the old one back in. Sometimes the refresh rate will automatically change w/ the resolution change. Thats my two cents, anyway.
