I had the exact same problem. Your graphics card is generating too high a frequency that your monitor can't handle, and the monitor "shuts down". It is to do with the refresh rate and the screen resolution: when I changed the screen resolution of my monitor to 640x480, the graphics card (set to Optimal Refresh Rate) would refresh the screen so many times per second that the monitor could not handle it.
Try setting your display adapter's refresh rate to either Adapter Default or 60 MHz. You'll get sucky flicker, but that's the price to pay, unless you get a more expensive/capable monitor.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
