  2. Monitor screen blinking.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand how frustrating it could be, when the monitor screen blinks frequently. We will assist you with it.

    I suggest you to update the display drivers and check.

    Method 2: Update drivers.

    I suggest you to update graphic drivers and check if it helps. Follow the steps given below.

    • Press Windows key + X key and click on
      Device manager.
    • Search for Display Adapters.
    • Right-click on the graphics
      card
      and click on Update driver software.


    You may also download the drivers from the manufacture’s website and check.

    Hope this information is helpful. For any further assistance on Windows, feel free to post your query on Microsoft Community Forum.

    Thank you.

    monitor is blinking and screen goes black

    Monitors blinking or turning off, if not a bad cable, can often be a defective capacitor or switch, power supply probably fixable or worse, the LED backlight is about to fail, often not so easy to replace.
    Normal first step would be to try the monitor in a different PC, however you have effectively done this by changing the motherboard and GPU and have the same problem.
    Unless you are good with electronics I wouldn't attempt it but get someone who is to look at it.
