Hello all.

I'm having an issue in games with my new build. The screen will occasionally flash black for a moment and then come back. It will do this every 10-15 seconds and the black screen lasts for about 2 seconds before coming back (highly annoying) This usually happens after about 30 minutes of play where everything is fine. Looking at the tempatures, the system never gets hotter than 48C, the processor idles at 16C and loads at 38C, and the vid card idles at 52C and hits about 77C in games (or when running 3DMark06).


GA-P35-DSR3
E6320 @ 2.8Ghz (400 x 7)
2GB Crucial Ballistix PC28000 (4-4-4-12-2t running 1:1 @ 2.2v)
EVGA 8800 GTS 640 Superclocked (running at stock timings and using latest bios from NVIDIA)
XCLIO Goodpower 500w PSU
Samsung DVD burner
Samsung 204bw 20" WS LCD

When I see this happen, it's usually when playing EQ2. Eye candy isn't all the way up, but on most high settings and running at 1680x1050. I thought this card would stomp all over EQ2 even if the settings were maxed out.

Anyone have any thoughts on this one? I'd appreciate any help you could offer me.

Thanks,
~Rshick

+5V = 28.0A
+3.3V = 30.0A
+12V1 = 16.0A
+12V2 = 17.0A
-12V = 0.3A
+5Vsb = 3.0A

That's off the side of the unit.

Thanks,
Rshick

This may sound weird but happened to me once.
Tighten the dvi connectors screws at either end of the terminal or
Try different dvi port.
