Monitor turns on and off

On to my next issue;

My monitor for no apparent reason will just turn on and
off. One particular program is Acrobat reader it just
keeps going on and off until I close acrobat reader. It
does it on a few web sites also. I took it to another
computer and it worked fine. Checked all my connections
everything is tight. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem when I manually set the refresh
rate too high for my monitor. The monitor would
periodically fail for about 1/2 second, and then light
again because it could not keep up.

Right click on an empty part of the desktop
Go to Settings tab
Click Advanced button
Go to Monitor tab
For Refresh Rate, Pick 60 Hz (any monitor I know of can do
at least that)

If your Refresh Rate was ALREADY set to 60 or Default,
then you are probably experiencing some other problem.

There is no refresh rate when I follow the path you
specified. The only options I have are monitor is energy
star compliant, automatically detect plug and play
monitor, reset display on suspend/resume. Now what?

I think Bob meant the 'Adapter' tab. Try that.

There is no refresh rate option there either.

What info is shown on the Adapter tab? Is refresh rate greyed out?

What monitor is it configured to use? Using the wrong monitor drivers can
cause this.

There is no refresh option at all. It just tells me what
video card I have, who manufactures it and what it
features.

In device manager it lists two default monitors. In one of
them I unchecked "exist in all hardware profiles" and
checked "disable in this hardware profile" They say
that "no driver is required or have been loaded for this
device. To update the driver for this device click update
driver". I do this and it says the best driver for this
device is already installed. It doesn't actually say the
manufacturer for my monitor it just says "Standard Monitor
Types". Should it actually say "Acana"?

Even after all this it still clicks on and off.
