ASUS Z97 PRO GAMER
Sapphire R9 380X
Win7-64 SP1 up-to-date
When the black update box appears approximately every month, (and I only update drivers in response to an actual problem, and I've seen this problem across multiple driver versions), I find that until I reboot the computer, I get the following problem:
If the computer is left idle for 10 minutes, the monitor switches off. I come back to the computer, wake it out of that, the monitor comes on, but the screen is blank. Ctrl+Alt+Del makes the security options screen appear, then I can cancel that and I get back to the desktop.
Today I decided to track down how the update check is triggered (Scheduled Tasks), and I've disabled the task, so fingers crossed no more problem. I had previously tried telling it not to auto-check for updates with the tickbox on the update notification, but it doesn't seem to help.
