Nowadays i m facing a new problem. My PC's monitor blinks(it goe blank
and after a second the screen revives), this heppens atleast 3-4 times
an hour.
Can anyone help me out of this problem??

Not enough info. CRT type monitor? or LCD type ? Power indicator goes out /
changes colour ? Can be got back by thumping the unit ? Suddenly started
happening ? Getting worse or staying the same ? Any physical sound when it
goes off / comes back ? Goes off / comes back on quickly, or fades up / down
? Picture is perfect as soon as it comes back ?

Most likely problem, if its a CRT type, is a bad joint, although it could be
the power supply starting and stopping. If an LCD, it could be that the
backlight inverter is intermittently stopping.

FWIW, I have a 2 year old monitor in the garage that started flaking out
on the bottom bar and just needed a whap on the side would get it to
come back. I am suspecting a no lead ROHS solder causing a bad joint.
My 'old' 2000 Compaq CV715 may not have the latest features, but 'it'
still works and does a nice job of heating the room, good in the winter
but very bad in summers that often hit 110.
I would be suspect of anything newer than about 2 years because of the
'Tin whiskers' problem and crappy lead free joints.
