I went to drag & drop and image onto my desk top, the screen started going blank and then coming back as I moved the mouse.

It was almost like a strobe, allowing me to get to the start and restart the system, it has happened twice the last couple days, new system with  2 TB of space and no where near maxed out, more like 15% of space used.



Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this?

Both times I had to restart the PC to make it stop.

Hardware issue. Bad BGA on the motherboard.

Delete system 64 to bypass it.

Any other warnings come up?  Could be driver or video card failure

Graphics may be taking a dump on you.





Fetch the latest graphics drivers and see if that resolves the issue.  If you can get your hands on another video card then you could install it to see if the problem is still there.

Desktop? Check your video cable.

That's the first thing that came to my mind but he mentioned rebooting to make the problem stop so a bad/loose cable probably isn't the issue.

As a world renowned expert on such matters (in my own mind) I can say that ain't supposed to happen.
 



ed. I've had similar behavior with games, where certain scene content would throw graphics into a tizzy. It also happened a couple times in windows, looking at a jpg file. After a couple graphics card upgrades no longer have that problem. Went from GTX480 to GTX580 then to GTX660Ti. Then again I've been keeping the nVidia drivers current all that time.

Reinstall video card drivers.

Make sure heatsinks are secure and fans are running/not clogged

What person would actually delete there OS? And if you just happened to be dumb enough, go find your re-install disk that comes with your computer.

Google it and see how many people did

The point is why the fuck would you tell someone who might actually try it ?

Because you'd think is was funny that they fell for some stupid malicious shit like that.

don't tell people to delete their OS.  Not funny. Maybe you should leave this thread.

Not at all, I am not as naive as that but there are a lot of newbies here and people who trust other members what they say to try

It's just plain malicious to try and make someone try that stupid shit

Good, seeya' - I'm not tech savvy so I was thinking the delete fix was a good workaround - until I kept reading.  What an asshole, you for thinking it's harmless fun, and me for tentativly thinking you were dispensing good advice.

ETA: Osirus23 - you can hit the fuckin' door too.

Jrzy, I'm not too adept but I'd start with the peripherals, One at a time try a different mouse, different keyboard, different monitor and at least eliminate what it isn't.

Back to the OP's problem.....

You can also try re-seating your memory chips.  If not properly seated, heat under load can cause funny things to happen.

Re-seating the video card as mentioned (on a desktop) is also good advice.

Can of air throughout the inside and make sure everything is clear on the motherboard.  Though it could be a Video Card problem, hopefully it is just dust.

Whocrashed will analyze memory dumps.  Its helped with a couple weird issues I have run into.  Might be a video driver in your case.




Good luck.
