Screen flashing during certain games on television

[Veinman]

I was playing some fighting games tonight on the cabinet. I am using a JVC television with the S-video out on my Radeon at the moment. (I haven't gotten around to configuring the component video dongle)

Anyway, several times during play, the screen would flash blue, and we couldnt' see anything on the screen. It got pretty annoying. We didn't notice it playing other games, and I'm wondering if it had anything to do with the fact that we were pounding on so many buttons at once.

Sticky keys shouldn't be to blame since I'm almost certain it's turned off, and if it wasn't, it should have prompted me with a dialog box, not just shown a blue screen.

Any ideas?

Alot of tv's will go to blue screen when they lose input sync.

Any idea how to fix that? Would using a utility like Powerstrip help?
