Screen Flashing then locks up!!
I have a intel motherboard with core 2 duo. 3 gb ram. Motherboard has onboard GPU.
Here's the problem. The screen will flash all black and intermittently go back to the windows I have open. Then back to black and then the windows are messed up and mouse freezes. Happens about 3 times then its just locks up. It has a yellow alert triangle in the bottom taskbar thing, but its locked up so I dont know whats going on. I have to manually turn off and then when I power up, it doesn't do anything. No hard drive activity. Then I have to manually turn off again, then I can power up and everything works. Sometimes it wont happen for a week, sometimes 3-4 times daily. I dont game or anything.
I tried formatting and starting with a clean install of windows and it still happens. So I'm guessing hardware??? IDK!! Any help would be awesome...thanks!
