My month old monitor just started randomly doing this a couple weeks ago very soon after I got the radeon crimson drivers, it can happen over 6+ times a day or sometimes not at all, the most curiously consistent thing about it is 80% of the time directly after booting up it will do it 2-3 times in a row over about 5 minutes. When it happens it mainly seems to be when playing a game or sometimes a youtube video or something similar, also if it happens once it will definitely happen another 2-3 times in the next few mins. I've tried a few things like switching my DVI-D port to DVI-I, pulling out all the cables and plugging them back in, completely uninstalling my graphics drivers and re-installing (in safe mode). Do I have a bad monitor? ):

I've double checked the DVI cable its firmly in place (only using one monitor), I've been trying out lowering my refresh rate to 120hz and so far no issues, but I would still like to use 144hz so even if this is successful ill got back to the old catalyst driver that was working. Either that or theres still the small chance I got a dud monitor but all signs point to it being the driver.
