Hi guys
For a number of months now I've had the problem of my monitor cutting to black for about 2 seconds then coming back on as if nothing happened. I've finally bothered to try and locate the source of the problem and it seems to be the graphics card (MSI 7850). I've just fitted a new RM650 power supply and that didn't solve it, so I'm now using inbuilt graphics and so far not a problem.
It'll happen randomly during use, maybe once every 3-4 hours. But I can make it do the exact same thing by powering on my PS3 or speakers on at the wall. It also happens when I connect my G27 wheel to the PC.
I've tried another monitor and that also gets blanked by other devices powering on or being connected.
So now I have the option of trying a UPS, or changing to a 770.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Tim
