Monitor has trouble displaying picture

[AssortedBacon]

I've been using this monitor as a second monitor for a couple years now and it's only recently been giving me problems. Whenever i plug it into my computer it displays the desktop for about 2 seconds and then goes blank. I've tried using different cables but that didn't work. Is this an issue i can fix on my own or should i get a replacement?
