Right, here is the full story as I am having no luck:
On Tuesday, while busy working, my screen suddenly goes black. About 3 seconds later its on again. In the background I hear the 'device plugged in' notification from Windows. A while later this happens again. And again and again and so on.
Today, Thursday, the problem is still there although it seems to have shifted slightly. The screen still goes black as I mentioned earlier however it only seems to happen when I use a program with a white background eg. browsing certain forums and websites that have white backgrounds or using my design software to create technical drawings. Another thing I noticed is that very often is that the keyboard seems to stop working intermittently, again this is accompanied with the 'device removed'/device plugged in' notification. This happen quite a lot is very annoying, not to mention cutting into my time.
Steps I have taken so far:
- rebooted PC
- switched off PC, unplugged everything including wall socket, and held in on button to properly lose all charge.
- Changed batteries in wireless mouse.
- Plugged in one device at a time to find guilty one.
- Changed keyboard.
- Switched monitor cables HDMI to DVI
- Reinstalled graphics driver
None of these helped. I don't have a back-up monitor so I can't check that. I really need to find a fix for this. All help appreciated.
