Hi,
I have Windows 7 Ultimate, 7600 RTM with a Geforce GTX 275.
I notice sometimes about every 30 minutes or so the screen on the desktop would just go black and reappear in about 2 seconds.
What could be the problem?
DXdiag shows the drivers I am using are 8.17.11.9621.
Thanks.
I used the Directx web update and it said I have the latest version.
I still have the problem with the screen going black.
Just curious, what are the temps concerning your card?
Try updating your graphics card driver.
As you are not seing a Driver Recovered error, it actually sounds like your Desktop AERO Theme is on Slide Show and is set to change every 30mins. Possibly to a Desktop Picture that can't be displayed properly.
Right Click the Desktop - Peronalize and Click on a different AERO Theme - eg Windows 7 Default AERO theme.
Card is not overheating, around 45 degrees or so its at.
Bill2 Will try update graphics driver and post back.
Rik55 will try your suggestion and post back
Thanks.
Hi,
I have looked at the theme, and I do not have any theme that changes pictures on the desktop like a sideshow selected, I just have the default one with a single picture, so that can't be the problem.
I have updated to the latest graphics card drivers, will see if that fixes the problem.
Still have the problem after updating Directx, Graphics driver and making sure slideshow themes are off.
