Black flickering! GTX 460
I just bought a POV GTX 460 1GB graphics card and I've noticed that it began flickering black for about 1 second and then kinda resumes (sound warps) in heroes of newerth.
Now to fill you in on some history.
I had a ATI Gigabyte 4850 and it was kinda old and dusty. It would freeze when things got graphically demanding and after like 10 seconds sometimes would resume back to the game. And before it would it would turn black then the image would reappear. It would also crash my machine, the drivers were a mess and I am pretty sure it was overheating. It did this especially when I tried to multi-task while in games.
Today I reformatted, bought my new graphics card and started to play some games. When this flickering occurred I had been playing itunes, had a video open in VLC and was alt tabbing to browser a couple times. I could never do this and I have 8GB ram so I was totally enjoying this multi task fest when I started noticing the above. I also had a faulty Corsair 750W PSU awhile ago at the time of this ATI card. So it's about 4 months or so old so there shouldn't be a problem there. I have a Gigabyte EP43-US3L motherboard after my last mother board (was much better) failed.
It's only the first day but it kinda worries me.
Any ideas? I installed the latest drivers from the Nvidia website.
