Look into /var/log/Xorg.0 log file and look what horizontal and
vertical timing you got for your monitor.
Then enter those (could be an intervall too) into your /etc/X11/
xorg.conf file section "Monitor"

Section "Monitor"
Identifier      "Default monitor"
Option          "DPMS"
HorizSync    "somevalue"
VertRefresh  "some-intervall"
EndSection

Read more with "man xorg.conf"  and in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg*/
catalogs for more information.
