Power lead is fine and other connections seem stable.
I have tried other DVi cables with no joy - it persists.
My system is Mac Pro | 2x Quad 2.26 | 6GB | NVidia GT 120 (mini-display and DVi) | OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4
Thanks for getting back,
Edit: Oh, and I haven't tried the other ports yet but I will and report back ASAP. That said, if I cannot get the DVI to work it is redundant for me anyway :-(
The problem is DEFINITELY the DVI connection - I can literally turn the issue on and off by adjusting the pressure of the cable to the monitor. Weirdly, it happens more if it is in securely. If I pull it back slightly, the issue stops...

Which monitor port are you using? What video card and port? What operating system? Have you tested the other monitor ports?

Also make sure the monitor power cord is directly into the wall socket.

Now that is an interesting one... So an extension cable is a no no?

I am just taking it out of the troubleshooting equation.

So a replacement is needed.
