monitor flickers for no reason!

I have a HP pavilion f50 lat screen monitor on my compaq presario computer...I ran belarac advisor for info and it recognizes my monitor...I have checked the connection ( I had an HP prior, but the hard drive smoked out, and just connected the compaq box is all, kept the flat screen, mouse and keyboard)...the display will flicker on and off..then go off for about 2-3 seconds..then come back on with no ill effects except it is annoying to me!!...this will happen about once every 15 minutes....the computer is farily new.......Here is cut and paste form Belarc:

Processor a Main Circuit Board b

is the computer trying to start something, like a screensaver, or drive shutdown?

You may want to change your refresh rate to either 60 cycles or 50 cycles. See which one works best.

Control panel, display, settings, advanced, monitor. You will see a dropdown and from that you can change the refresh rate.

Sounds like a video card problem.. Perhaps a bad solder connection..
