Removed bios ez clock on cpu and ram first so all at stock.
Reseated graphics card.
Tried so far,
Fresh instal with drivers on disc.
Reseated graphics card.
Fresh instal and up to date drivers from AMD site.
Only one stick of ram in.
Power supply is supposed to be man enough.
When it black screens monitor shows its getting signal from card and the pc continues running.
Its totally random and I cant recreate a scenario to repeat it.
It happens when on desktop just browsing net or in a game.

Anything else to try before I contact the shop

Just updated to the latest Bios and put both sticks of ram back, see if that fixes it before i go to on board graphics.

Single 140 on the back, been monitoring the card is only ticking over on desktop when it happens.
Not even had a chance to look at the clocks as its been like this from building it, black screened on me when typing this reply
Its going back ASAP, back to Nvidia I think.

Don't want to start messing with card, found a bios switch, switched to other setting and now testing again.

No flicker just went straight to black, no flicker on anything else in the pc.
Monitor is a Benq gl2450
