[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#726153: base: Video "flashes" every 10 seconds

Package: base
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation? Just performed a fresh install of Debian 7.
As soon as the the system was restarted after the install the video on the 
monitor started to "blink" every 10 seconds. It appears that the video signal
stops and then immediately restarts.
