S2240L, Flickering/Lines disturbance
Hi,
I recently built my new PC and bought Dell S2240L 22" LED monitor. I'm using A8-6600K which has integrated GPU. Today, after using it for 2 days, the monitor has started sort of flickering, horizontal lines appear randomly on screen and I have noticed it turns off while using the PC. I googled, but couldn't find how to go about troubleshooting this. Please help. Also, I'm using Windows 8.1. I installed the drivers yesterday and had to set 0% overscan as screen wasn't fitting to the size of monitor. I have a bluetooth dongle and a WiFi router near it, but I don't think that's causing it because it was working fine yesterday. Just a bit of info I'd like to add, I'm yet to buy a UPS, running PC on direct supply, if that helps.

NarinderSingh,
Turn the monitor off. Disconnect it from the computer. Move it to another part of the room. Plug the monitor power cord in and turn the monitor on. If you see the flickering, horizontal lines, the monitor is defective.If you do not, the monitor is fine.
