Problem

When I'm giving my system a little bit of a workout (on WoW in battles mostly) my system keeps having a blip. My monitor goes black, just for a few seconds, then everything comes back on. I get the little message on my monitor I always get when I switch the system on telling me which input is being used. It's almost like the whole system has just shut off for a few seconds then come straight back on, no start up screen or anything, just back to where I was before.
System spec:
I5 2500K
MSI P67A C45
GTX 560Ti
4GB DDR3
OcZ 500W StealthXStream Mk1
BenQ LED 24"

I upgraded to most of this a few months ago but didn't get a new PSU so I'm wondering if it's this thats causing the problem. It's a few years old now, 2 years or so I think, and I tend to leave the computer on for a good few hours a day, anywhere from 6-18!
Any suggestions as to what the problem might be :confused:

Has your 560Ti been overclocked at all as I ran in to this problem when I had an unstable OC on my GPU card.

Not overclocked at all, still all stock

have you downloaded the latest drivers for your 560, this sometimes helps. Also when or if you upgraded your GPU did you uninstall the old drivers from your last card?

Driver version is 270.61, downloading 275.33 now. Off out for a bit but I'll update everything when I get back, see if that works. Might do a clean install too. Thanks!
