GeForce GT 220 display periodically goes black
I'm running Windows 7 and connecting my 1GB GeForce GT 220's HDMI output to a HP w2207h HD monitor. There are times when my video display goes black for about 2 seconds and then returns. I notice it most in IE8 when using the mouse rollerball to scroll down a long web page. Another time it happens a lot is when I hover over the taskbar thumbnails and try to jump between applications. It will simply go completely black for about 2 seconds and then switch to selected application.
The behavior is very similar to my home entertainment system. I use my amplifier to switch between inputs that are all routed via HDMI to my HDTV. When I switch the input from my Blu-Ray DVD to my Cable TV, the screen goes black for a couple of seconds while it is switching.
The behavior in Windows 7 is similar. Could this be just a bad video card or maybe a HDMI issue or just something screwed up in Windows 7?
Any input I can get from you would be greatly appreciated.
Thx
