| | Windows 7 automatically switching to basic (non-aero) theme Windows 7 randomly switches off Aero and goes back to the basic theme with the following error message: "The color scheme has been changed to Windows Basic - The current color scheme has exceeded its allowed memory so the color scheme has been automatically changed to improve performance. Click to see more information." Hardware specs: 3 monitors Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.4GHz 32 GB RAM ATI Radeon 7970 (3GB GDDR5) 64-bit Windows 7 SSD Harddrives in RAID0 config. What's strange is that aero runs fine with running GPU intensive games. It fails when browsing the web, or if I just let the computer sit with the desktop up for awhile. |

| | Some software will do this. Perhaps you've installed something that is causing this. |

| | It's a relatively recent install, here are the currently installed programs:  I've tried to narrow this down, and was able to get the issue to repro when the only programs running were dropbox and chrome. |
