Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum so if I don’t do everything they way it should be done my apologies.

I recently build my computer:
Case- X-TELSTAR-JR G-Type X-TSJGT-BL Blue SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower
PSU- APEVIA ATX-AS600W-BL 600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply
Hard Drive- Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200 RPM
Monitor- Hanns·G HW-223DPB Black 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor
Graphics Card- XFX GX285NZDFF GeForce GTX 285
RAM- Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066
Motherboard- MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI ATX AMD
CPU- AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz
OS- Vista Home Premium x64

Right now I currently have a problem where my monitor is flashing black for a few seconds and then returns the image. During this time i am still able to hear and the system is not freezing up. I have installed all the new drivers for everything and tried uninstalling them too and reinstalling them all to no avail. This problem has evolved from where before it used to just freeze and then unfreeze and say that the driver has stopped working even though I had updated the driver.

Any help would be much appreciated as I am getting very frustrated at this dilemma.

Hi exavior,

Welcome to the forum,

Check; That the graphic card is sitting properly. All connections are correct. That you are using all necessary power cables. Check the connections between card and monitor. That you have the latest Chipset drivers, That you have the latest bios

Try; using another slot for the Graphic card. If you are using DVI try using VGA or visa versa. Try using different plug combination's on the Graphic card and Monitor. Try using a different graphic card if you have one, or try your card in another computer, same for the monitor.

I hope this helps

Pooch
