Screen on MAC Pro keeps flashing

My MAC Pro whirs when initially turned on. And then the screen starts flashing on and off! Then it just goes black? Any reasons why this is happening?

Mac Pro, macOS 10.14

Swap for a different cable and for different display, and — if those swaps fail — you're headed for repair or replacement of the Mac Pro itself.


With the use of macOS 10.14 here, I'd guess this is a 2012 or earlier "cheese-grater" Mac with Metal graphics, so cleaning and re-seating memory and boards is an option for some folks, then maybe then swapping graphics, if you want to spend time and money.
