monitor flicking to a black to a black screen with white box that says auto adjustment in progress

[toppwynn]

hp monitor w2207h. I have this monitor and haven't had any problems with it until now.  It started with flicking to a black screen with a white box that says Aut Adjustment in Progress and it would do it every 5-10 seconds.  It is almost impossible to look at anything.. It still allows me to type, since I am doing this right now as it continues to flick screens.  Then the volume just started going up and down and is in the middle of the screen.  It keeps going back and forth between these two things and my original screen.. I've tried updating it, unplugging it, restarting it, and changing the output from HDMI to VGA.  Now it won't even let me open the menu on the monitor, it just selects things for me.  Please  help, I need to use this computer!!!!

It's a long-shot, but make sure you don't have any of the four control buttons stuck in. Compare the feel from all four of them; you should feel the soft click. Otherwise, it's a problem with the electronics of the monitor. That's my guess, as from your description I interpret that the behavior has been getting worse. If you're out of warranty then you're probably also out of luck.

Try holding down the monitor's power button for 30-60 seconds and then power up the monitor.
