Display driver or virus?

[Sheesey]

Ummmm, I have recently come accross a problem (started bout an hour ago)
My screen turns it self off (giving me noticethat it s Going to sleep)
And then it turns back on with black screen. after about 5 minutes it will reload my desktop.

This is getting on my nerves...(my dad said that it happened to him once but with a browser)

I and using Iexplorer as I think it might be chrome(my usual)

But all suggestions are welcome
Thanks
Rangi.


EDIT: it is not my browser cuz it just happened again !!! HELP ME !

[Sheesey]

I will when it next happens..sorry never though of that :/

 

[Sheesey]

Oh, I have also checked my display driver, monitor settings etc in the device manager but apparently they are in good working order...I have had MS security essentials running for the past hour to see if I have a virus

Okay here is a screen shot...I just switched to windows 7 basic now because I think it maybe my display driver...it did say that it was working properly though :'(

Umm when I took the screen shot Iexplorer was not not there O_O

 

[Sheesey]

I shall be back soon...After the scan has completed I shall reboot in hope this will fix it

I am back now.....Also I keep getting (Iexplorer has encountered a problem..RunTime error

Do you have any suggestions if this happens again? I have checked for updates for everything to do with my screen..Please help

Like, so I know it is my display driver but device manager is telling me it is up to date and working correctly

Here it is..I moved down a bit because it showed everthing from my login (after I rebooted)

Update your display drivers
What graphic card do you have?

For Nvidia cards Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers
For Radeon cards Graphics Drivers & Software

but device manager is telling me it is up to date and working correctly

Never update from device manager, always update from the card manufacturer's webiste
