video cuts out
I have a geforce gtx 280 and ever since running windows 7 the video seems to randomly cut out. Sometimes it will go a week without doing anything but other times it will happen after just a few minutes of running time.
the sound stays on as do all the lights on the case and the mouse laser. The monitor just displays no signal detected. Ive tried hitting keyboard keys, the wake button, and moving/clicking the mouse. At first I thought it was a sleep issue, but have completely disabled the feature. All I can do to get the video back is restart the system via case reset buttons.
I have been reading similar problems online and several people immidiately say temperature. I don't think this is my issue however because it will happen while doing anything from idle computing to intense gaming.
Booting up in xp the error never occurs, only 7 seems to have the issue.
