You'll have to sort out the adapter or display issue to fix this one. I have yet to be 100% successful when converting from HDMI to VGA so I can write that's where the problem is. Back to the adapter maker to fix or refund.
hi. I have this problem for a while now and it driving me mad. I set the resolution to recommended mode but every random sec monitor blink to black then show the not optimum mode.
I set the resolution lower but the problem still happening. I have gtx 1060 and connected by a hdmi to vga adaptor to Samsung syncmaster bx1980n.I tried everything I find online so far ( delete 3d drive - custom res). I'm stuck with this monitor for while and I have no choice to replace it now. max res is 1366x768
