Ok, well I recently sold off my Conroe rig with an 8800GTS in it and am currently using a backup Sony Vaio machine which I had laying around and I purchased a PCI-E Radeon X1650 Pro 512 to use and play some CSS untill I buy my self a new machine. I have an Acer 22" Widescreen LCD and I have the latest drivers installed for the video card (7-10's) and it is connected via DVI.
The problem I have is that when I am browsing the web or at random times, the screen will go black, and come back, it will keep doing this for a while, if I move the webpage (scroll up and down) or am viewing an image, it keeps losing connection and keeps flashing black and then back to normal. Most of the time the flashes are 2 seconds long, then back on for 2, off again, then it will sit normal for 2 min, and do it again when I scroll...Sometimes it will go black for 5 seconds with the "mode not supported" message but come back to the screen...I dont see what it can be!
This only happens when using native resolution 1680x1050 @ 60hz, which is the only thing that looks good on this monitor.
