Random Asus Monitor Issues

[brennebn]

I just built my first budget gaming pc this weekend, you can see my parts below. I am having issues with my monitor though. If I use HDMI, it will turn black every so often for about 2 seconds then come back on. On DVI it is fine. However, in the last two days while using DVI, my screen has shown a few lines then turns completely white, and the only way to fix it is to reboot the computer. This has happened three times, all while using Firefox (twice while on Facebook and once on YouTube). I have had the thing turned on for a few hours at a time idle and playing FarCry 3 with no issues. The DVI cable is the one that came with the monitor, the HDMI cable is one of my own. Any ideas on either issue?

did you run the driver disk that came with the motherboard?

Hve you tried updating to the latest graphics driver from the AMD website?

The MB driver disk was one of the first things I ran, and I also updated the AMD drivers around the same time and just checked now to see if there was any updates (which there aren't).
