Annoying monitor problem.

[bart1975]

My monitor/tv is a Samsung LN26B460. Lately it has this problem where it blacks out for a second and returns to normal as if I am switching inputs. I am using the HDMI connection and every so often it acts like I just switched to HDMI. It shows HDMI it the upper left corner along with the screen resolution. 1280x720 60Hz.

This is getting very annoying as it happens when playing games or just browsing the web. Any suggestions?

Is it happening when you are switching programs/tasks or just randomly. If randomly try cleaning the ports and lead to make sure it isn't just a dodgy dirty connection.

It happens randomly. I am going to try a different HDMI cable and different HDMI ports on the monitor.

probably missing power. 300 watt is just on the line

Well everything works fine when connected with a vga cable.
