My monitor turns off for 2-3 seconds

[deasly]

Hi! I have a problem with my windows. Everytime when I log on (when switch user, log on to another, or simply when start win, just after the 'welcome' scream displays), my monitor turns off for 2-3 seconds and then turn on ... someone have any suggestions because of what is this problem shows everytime? I made some changes in msconfig - in Services, in StartUp, but when i turn them back, the problem is still showing everytime when log on ...

What monitor are we talking about here? I've seen EXACTLY the same behaviour on older CRT monitors when switching resolutions.

... with a deep "CLOING!" noise

I use LG flatron w2234s 22' The problem is not the monitor, i think, cuz it's brand new ...

That could be just the problem Deasly.

Do you have this problem from day 1?

Yep! And a squirky image while it adapted to the new resolution...

Could be the monitor or the video card...I suspect that what is happening is that when you log in the screen resolution is adjusting for the settings of that user, which causes a brief loss of video (even if the settings are actually unchanged from one user to the other).

I have seen this behavior in some our our computers, mainly laptops plugged into docking stations. I do not believe it to be a problem, just a limitation of the particular hardware.

hm.. first i didn't have this problem, maybe 2 days after installing windows xp with sp 3

edit: about resolution - both 2 users use same resolution and display settings
