    Hey guys, I recently purchased a newly custom built PC on ebay and a AOC 2236 monitor seperately. The problem is that my screen goes blank / black all the time, in games it's much worse, the screen goes blank every other second.

    I tested the monitor on my old PC and it works fine, even in games.
    I tested the new pc with my old monitor and it works fine.

    so...I'm really confused.

    I've tried:

    - updating graphics and monitor drivers
    - upgrading from xp to vista
    - all different types of resolutions
    - all refresh rates

    Here is the Monitor i bought
