Monitor flashes 3 times after Resuming Vista

Resuming Vista, logging back on again after unlocking the PC, the display
flashes about 3 times.

It is very un-nerving.

Anybody know why/solution?

my screen on boot up. it comes in just before the final display screen shows
in the boot up sequence. Black screen then (5) 1 inch horizonal lines that

I dont think it is normal however it sounds as if the display drivers or GRAM is refreshing. Try updating or rolling back your gfx drivers. Have a look in the error logs to see if there are any problems.

I checked those settings in my Registry but they are as you suggested.
Problem of flashing screen still exists.

Thanks... I hope someone can offer further help or if you have other ideas
