    Sorry for the terrible title, but there is a recurring issue (it's happened 3+ times now at random intervals) where the screen will turn off for about < 1 second and then return as if the input to the LCD dissapeared and then came back.

    I haven't done any testing with using only the 9400, because it happens at such random intervals and with long periods in between.

    The current configuration of the unit as the problem occurs is:

    Q9300 @ 2.8GHZ
    8GB RAM
    Sli 280M
    BIOS A02
    CC 2.01
    Using BatBoy's Nvidia Drivers.

    Thanks,

    Purely Satanic
