My monitor flickers for few seconds when turned on. After few seconds it resumes its usual image. The small green light of my monitor flickers too in the same time. I mention that it never flickers when used. I have a program that puts the monitor to sleep (the main unit still works) and when I want the monitor to exit the sleep mode flickers again for a few seconds and then it works well as usual. What could be the problem? Is it the cable? I've already changed it; I use a new one now. Is it the video card? Or it's just that my monitor is dying on me?

If you turn the monitor off whilst the PC is on and back on after about 30 secs does it flicker?

I don't think it has anything to do with the program. Just a minute ago I turned on my PC and again my monitor flickered all the time. I mention before the OS starts. I restarted it and it did not flicker anymore. Could it be that my monitor ended "its life"? I have had it for three years now. I hope it is not my video card because I bought the main unit almost a year ago. The monitor does not flicker when it's working, only when it's turned on. The green light of the monitor flickers too. I've read a post earlier saying that it could be that the video card does not give for a short while the right signal to the monitor. Could this be possible?

That is a possibility.But the monitor may be approaching its sell by date, however, I don't think you should rush out to buy another monitor-yet

I have a Lacie monitor and PC working with Photoshop CS2.
The image has started to wildly fluctuate, flickering from minute to maximum enlargement very rapidly. I would like to reboot, but first I need to save my work and the flickering is preventing this.
I am scanning at 1250 dpi for maximum clarity, into a 300 dpi format and erasing the base layer of each image before copy and paste then saving.
Will any of that have a bearing? I am running a Mac adjacent to my PC two-screen setup.
Thank you in anticipation dear colleagues - Zac
