Monitor on the blink?

Hi,

I have a 5 year old 17" monitor which has developed the most annoying habbit of blinking whilst switched on.

It seems to be a random problem where the entire screen goes black for a split second then comes back again, with a faint clicking sound, this can be repeated at various intervals.

I have never had a monitor die on me before and just wonder if this is a sign to update it?

I have checked and replaced the power cable, to no avail.

The wire to the pc does seem a bit LUMPY in places but this goes directly into the monitor and there is no external connector.

Just wondering if anyone has had similar problems in the past?
