Hey LTT,

Lately I've been having a problem. At random moments my monitor starts to flash. It's switches very fast between black and white. I have no idea what it is and it occured twice in 3 months time.
The issue is solved by restarting the computer, but that's not ideal since the actual problem isn't fixed. When I turned the monitor on and off for the first time it gave me back my view, but most of the items shown on my monitor were shifted (Say every five rows, a row of pixels moved 5 pixels to the left, creating a distorted image). The second time it occured I turned the monitor on and off, but this time the flashing of the screen stayed.

The computer itself worked throughout the flashing (had a song playing in the background and it didn't stop).

I have an XFX R9 280X Double Dissipation,
A Corsair C750M PSU and a BenQ RL2455HM 24" Monitor.

Anybody knows the cure to this?
