2408WFP blanks out occasionally

I have a 2408WFP A00 which is suffering from brief, intermittent blanking of the display.  It simply goes dark for a couple of seconds and then comes back 'on'.  It happens several times a day, with no regular pattern that I have been able to discern.

I have an ATI Radeon X1650 video card.  The 2408WFP is 'monitor 1' using the DVI connector while I have a DELL 1905 running on the analog connector as 'monitor 2'.  The 1905 DOES NOT suffer from the blanking.

The computer is a DELL Precision 390.  I am running Vista SP1 64-bit. Screen resolution on the 2408WFP is 1920x1200

I swapped the DVI cable for another, with no effect.

The problem happens when I am using the machine so I don't believe sleep timers should be involved.

Anyone know if this is likely to be a fault in the monitor or in the video card?

    your best bet is to try the monitor on another machine... any machine. Once tested on the other machine you will know if it is your video card or not. From all the issues I have seen on this monitor I would be it's the monitor that has issues

    What was the resolution?  I just got this monitor and I've had it blank on me 5-10 times since it started using it.

    On the Advanced Setting in the ATI Catalyst Control Centre, Digital Panel (DVI), Attributes -

    Tick - Reduce DVI frequency on high res displays

    Untick - Alternate DVI operational mode

    Apply

     

    Or try variations on these two settings.
