About 3 months ago, I built a new PC arround a i7 960, Asus P6X58D_E, Gforce 470 GTX, 6 Gb Mushkin 1600 RAM, in dual boot with XP and Win7 64.- I could overclock it to 4,4Ghz stable, but as here is now summer, I am working with 4,3 Ghz with lower voltages, and stable.-
The only problem I had occasionally, and in a very few times, was that during the boot process, the display showed transitorily a strange and distorted color pattern, and afterwards within Windows 7, a warning box informed that the display driver had succesfully recovered from a failure.-
Since 2 weeks ago, I have a new problem:
Most of the times I try to boot in Win 7 64, after all the process, and when the desktop is ready, the display turns off black, sometimes it happens inmediately and sometimes within the first 5 minutes, so I must shut off power an reboot.- If the session survives that time, all works perfectly well.-
Sometimes I have to boot 2 or 3 times to get things work.-
As I guessed it could be a graphics system problem, I tried installing most of the NVidia 260 series drivers with the same results.-
I tried checking the events register, but the only errors related were those warning about having booted after an abnormal shut off.-
It seems not to be a hardware problem, as I can boot and run XP normally.-
Maybe somebody has an explanation for my problem
Thanks
Jorge
