Hi Guys,

I'm not totally sure what this issue pertains to specifically, it could be my Graphics Card or my screen - maybe both. My screen flashes black momentarily when watching videos (online and off) and, weirdly, Facebook. I'm at a loss as to why it could be, I thought maybe a bad HDMI cable (although that wouldn't explain why certain sites caused the problem) and replaced it but the problem remains.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I don't know why I didn't try this myself before! It seems to have solved the problem! Much appreciated, thanks!

Actually I spoke to soon, it's started again. I'm pretty sure this points to the graphics card now, though. I reinstalled the drivers and it completely stopped for a large period of time, now it's started up again - I think that clears the monitor as being the problem.

Time to get a new GFX, I guess.
