I have an Acer AL1916 LCD monitor hooked to the DVI port on my HIS Radeon X1650PRO.
When I boot my PC, the monitor blinks on and off about once per second, until finally I get to the end of the boot sequence. Once I'm at the desktop, all is well and the video behaves perfectly. It doesn't start blinking until after the hardware BIOS self-test part is complete and Windows takes over the process, so I think it might be a Windows thing.
It did not behave this way when I had an ATI Radeon X700PRO. It started doing this as soon as I upgraded my video.
Do you have another video output? I know when I have my TV connected via s-video cable, I can't see my boot process. It just sits blankly and then pops up with the windows login screen.
