Screen goes blank

Hope someone can help with this one please.

Every time I boot-up after about 5/10 minutes my screen goes blank and the monitor just reverts to standby. I have to reboot and then all is fine for the rest of the day?

I have updated all my drivers but cannot think of what is wrong.

Any help appreciated, thank you

System Recovery Options

if you have completed any updates recently?

are you running a gpu or onboard graphics?

possible graphics card update?

Hi Graham,

sorry, should have explained better. are you running your onboard graphic or a seperate GPU? from your comments i would suggest a GPU?

can you tell me what GPU you have?

Can you run a system restore and update us on your progress?

Hello again,

My GPU is a ATI HD 5970 2GB PCI Express Graphics card

I will try a system Restore

Thanks
Graham

Hi Graham. if this fails can you supply me details on your mobo.

Morning,

Well, the System Restore is holding OK at present :) If the fault re-surfaces I will post again. Many, many thanks for your help AsComputers.

Graham

that's great news. glad I could be of help.

don't forget to backup.

Ah bugger, the issue surfaced again this morning When it happened, there is a noise like a noisy fan? Hope that makes sense?

Graham

hi graham,

remove the GPU and run from the on-board graphics.
