Perhaps the card's refresh rate at its current resolution is not supported
by the monitor. This could cause it to go black. Have you tried shifting
to a lower resolution and seeing if the same thing happens?
Does the monitor go black while no other activity is taking place? It may
just also be the power-saving features of the card or monitor kicking in.
