    Hi all,

    Past 2 days I have run into a strange problem. Upon booting and loading alll is well, monitor shows the windows logo. But for some reason between it leaving that screen and on to login, monitor loses all signal for around 1 min or more.

    Does this everytime now. But after the 1 min or more the monitor gets a signal and at login no problem.

    Also an earlier problem, i'll be doing anything like gaming, youtube whatever and the screen stops and puts a greenish outline around some of the logo's, sound goes around 20 seconds later, mouse moves and then 15sec later it too stops. Cannot reboot through windows, have to turn on and off.

    Sorry for so much problem wise, last resort is to reload windows but thats never fun.


    Thank you for your time!

    Try using Windows System Restore to restore your system to a time before these issues occurred.

    What version video driver are you currently running?

    Might be worth trying to update video driver to latest beta (or roll back to WHQL if already using latest beta driver). In nVidia control panel check that "Multiple monitor performance mode" is selected under custom 3d settings.

    Also might be worth a shot to (if possible) try a different connection to monitor. (e.g. if you are using HDMI, try VGA or other way around) Would also be good to try (if possible) same connection with another monitor.
