Display errors when using Aero.
I have a custom built computer.
Window 7 Home Premium
Intel Motherboard DX58SO
Intel i7 CPU
4GB DDR3 RAM
XFX NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 graphics card
Power supply 650w
When I first put this all together I installed Windows 7 on top of Windows XP. From then on I had two major problems. One was no restore points being made unless I did them manually and they were all deleting after I logged off. The other was a display error while using Aero and my Pinnacle editing programme. The whole screen would after about a minute after logging on flash and chequer board. VERY bad. Also the display driver would stop and then restart. The only way I could stop this was to switch from Aero to a ‘Basic and High Contrast Theme’.
I tried to install the latest drivers and update the BIOS but still no good.
NOW I have reinstalled Windows 7 again but this time on a clean formatted C drive.
Restore points all ok...... BUT STILL GET THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DISPLAY DRIVER STOPPING AND STARTING AND THE CHEQUER BOARD FLASHING ALL OVER GIVING ME HEADACHS.
I installed again the driver that came with the card but have not tried the latest driver this time having just reinstalled Windows 7 clean.
Have any of you out there heard of this problem or know how to fix it please?
