What do you mean by "flashes" and "blanking out"?

You could try flexing the cable every few inches between your monitor and the PC to check for a bad cable and reckeck the plug connection to the graphics card as it looks like its losing the signal mommenterily.
First thing, check the power cord to the monitor..
Is the machine still working when the monitor blanks out?
Is it loosing AC power or is it loosing video/sync?
When/how often does it happen? When it is cold or after is is warmed up?
Screen Saver acting up?
Software/OS issue?
it only happened twice the past couple days.
