EDIT: I have found out both through talking to the manufacturer and some personal IT friends that the driver would not have any impact on this issue. I believe I have now determined that the problem is either the graphics driver, which I will attempt toupdate with a Beta driver, or is indeed a faulty monitor.Hello community!Last month I built a PC with Windows 10 Home 64. The monitor I selected is the Acer G257HU.Problem:The display will occasionally blink on and off every second. The LED power light remains on throughout this. Turning the monitor off and on again will briefly stop the blinking, but it will have another blinking episode anywhere from 30 minutes to a day,though it has become more frequent in occurrence.Troubleshooting:. I replaced the DisplayPort cable with a brand new DP cable. Problem persisted.
I tried using HDMI instead of DisplayPort. Problem persisted. I tried using the monitor on a Windows 7 machine. After hours of strenuous use running multiple applications, problem didnot occur.

That said, it's possible that the problem could occur as I was not able to replicate the applications exactly and only tried for a few hours (in some instances it takes a day or more for the problemto occur). I used an old LED monitor on the new PC. Under the same use conditions that caused the first monitor to blink, problem didnot occur.Through this I believe I have ruled out a connection issue, a faulty motherboard and a faulty monitor, meaning the only difference could possibly be the Operating System.I called Acer tech support and their only thought was that the Monitor is not compatible with Windows 10. On their website Acer has a driver for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 but not Windows 10. However on both machines that I used this monitor on, the driverwas the same Generic PnP, driver date 6/21/2006, version 10.0.10586.0. I attempted to run a driver update on both machines and they both indicated I was using the latest available.Status:I am scratching my head here.
I asked a question on the website I purchased it at under their Q&A and multiple buyers confirmed they are running this monitor without problem on Windows 10. I saw at least 1 comment on Newegg of someone having the identicalproblem as me.The only possible thing I can think of at this point is that somehow the people running it fine on Windows 10 are people who UPGRADED to Win10 (trying to confirm this) and somehow the driver was grandfathered in, whereas a clean install of Windows 10 is treateddifferently? I downloaded the Win7/8.1 driver and attempted to manually install it in Win10 and the system wouldn't let me. (I directed it to install from the driver folder and it just tells me I already have the latest driver without even trying to installit.)So. All that being said I guess my questions are thusly:. Why would using this monitor with the identical Generic PnP driver work fine on my Win7 machine but cause issues on my Win10 machine?.
Did I miss anything in my troubleshooting? That is, is there another possible explanation outside of Win10?. If the only remaining potential fix is that I need to find a way to force a Windows 7/8.1 driver down Win10's throat working under the idea that the driver is actually compatible, but the system won't let me, is there a workaround?
