OK, it does this randomly, like loading up a game (you know, the screen goes black or "flickers" before it loads a game or 3d app). It done it again when i started CSS, i turn my monitor off and back on to see what that would do. And amazingly, that fixed it. Whats causing this? it just started this a few days ago
I would test the PSU rails first, then check for your Monitor .inf for an update,(tho I doubt thats it). Again, could be a bad cell on the Vid memory.
May want to do a complete Uninstall of the card, and remove all the old ATI references with Drive Cleaner in Safe mode if you hadn't allready.

I had a similar thing happen with a PowerColor 3870, and eventually figured out it was bad memory on the card and RMA'd it.

edit; You may want to check your Cables for a good connection on both ends, as well as Re-seating the vid card.
