External 24" Monitor Flickers, connected to DVI

I have a 24" external monitor (HP LP2475w). With my old laptop (PC) this monitor worked perfectly. Now with my new Macbook Pro (10.6.1) this external monitor flickers about every 15-20 seconds. The flicker is extremely fast and seems to just be entirely white. The monitor is connected by DVI-DVI. One important thing to note is that this monitor, when plugged into my old PC, was plugged in via VGA.

First thing is to change the monitor cable. Often something like that is due to a marginal cable working on the old configuration, and then a new device is hooked up, and the cable just can't work properly.
