windows 7 problems

[terminator2k2]

hi all i installed windows 7 64bit version and everything was fine......

then all of a sudden started getting the following which is driving me round the bend now......

the monitor will switch off intermittantly and i have to reboot the computer to get it back on....the computer seems as its still on but with no monitor...

the system is a :

core i7 920
3 gig corsair dominator ram
gigabyte x58 mainboard
nvidia 280 gtx graphics

the message i get after restart is:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 2057

Additional information about the problem:

ive also noticed in performance information it says :

new hardware detected , windows experience needs to be refreshed.

ine not changed any components on this computer since ive installed windows....

when ever i refresh it , this will give me the problem im getting, by that i mean around 30 seconds after its started , the monitor will switch off...



any one help.?

it can only be your graphics m8 . roll back the driver then search for an updated driver for it

Check power options in "display properites" Might be worth checking grapucs options in Bios as well.

is the gfx card getting enough juice? Does it use external extra molex/pcie power, re-check these connections, try on a different psu rail.

After upgrading my Daughters PC to Win7 a few months ago, she would always get a popup saying 'Resolution Not Supported" which would dance all over her screen. I changed resolution and refresh rates but nothing worked.

The solution was simple, all I did was install the manufacturers driver rather than let Win7 use it's own, something I would normally do anyway, but I was lazy with her machine
