random black screen

bigjimmyauk · 3 Jan 2011 at 01:47

been bugging me for a few weeks now basically maybe 5-6 times per day my screen will just go black for a few seconds. it's seriously off putting and can get me killed when gaming which is pretty annoying

it don't do it on my ps3 full stop only when using the pc

tried different gfx drivers and 2 other dvi cables and it's still the same.

Can you try the pc on a different monitor?

Well yeah i have a spare monitor, but i don't see why as all the ports work fine with other items

vga and dvi work with the 360 absolutely fine and the 2 hdmi work fine with the ps3 etc etc

It's just the pc won't play ball for some reason

Had the same problem for years, mine's now turned into a more serious problem where I get a black screen when gaming and looping audio and have to restart the pc instead. I also had the same problem over 2 differnt gpus. So if your problem is like mine I suggest you start looking at the psu as thats what im now trying to do.
