    T410s display blinks off/on

    Does anyone perhaps have suggestions for troubleshooting a display problem with my T410s (Intel HD graphics)? Everything is fine with the laptop display, but when I connect to my external monitor (displayport to DVI adapter, then DVI cable to a Samsung 24"), the screen blinks off for a second or two, then back on - all the in' time. It seems completely random - every few minutes, or sometimes it will be fine for half-an-hour, then blink.

    The displayport to DVI adapter is a Lenovo part, and worked fine with my T400s before. The cable is high-quality, and also worked fine with the T400s. Any ideas?
