So I finished building my PC on Friday and everything appeared to be fine. On Sunday I turned on my PC and noticed that the screen starting flashing when I got to the desktop and opened Mozilla Firefox. It does this about 10 - 15 times for around 2 minutes and then it stops. This happens every time when I boot my PC if it's been turned off for a while. Today I noticed after a flash it displayed white screen also that just kept flashing. This only happens after booting for a few minutes but after that it is ok. I'm connecting to monitor with a DVI cable.

My PC build is
AMD FX 8350 4GHz
XFX R9 280x
8GB RAM
Windows 8.1 Pro
Benq GL2450HM

Update your drivers and ensure the VGA/HDMI connectors are tight.

My monitor drivers are up to date and I've made sure that my DVI cable is connected properly. I don't think that's the problem.

Does it ever say whether a signal is detected or not? Do you have the latest GPU drivers as well?

I do have the latest drivers from AMD and I don't know what you mean by signal detected

I use them both and I get the same issue in chrome.
