XFX 680i SLI problem solved

I was having a weird problem with my screen going black at random after installing any version of Vista, and kept having to force a restart because there was no way to get the screen to come back on. I searched all the forums and it seemed to be very common, but as with most of the forums everyone was argueing about how to fix the problem instead of helping the people with the problem. So I'm posting this one in the hope that it may just help one or two people with the same problem.
My remedy was simply to update the BIOS to the latest version P32 I think from the XFX website, and the problem was no more, I also updated the High def audio driver from the same site, now my machine has been running flawlessly for three days now.

Re: XFX 680i SLI problem solved

I dont know what the problem was for you in particular but i had this issue as well. Mine happened whenever a UAC prompt came up. The screen would go black and you obviously couldnt see anything.

I found that if i hit enter i would go back to my desktop. It was an nvidia display driver problem that seems to be fixed now with later drivers.

Just figured i would share my results of fixing a problem that might or might not relate to yours.
