Dell Inspiron 531S
Comes with an onboard vga out port.
I added GeForce 7600GS in PCIE slot.
Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
2GB Ram
Vista 32bit Home Premium, SP2, very fresh install.
The case is too small for the Geforce, so I opened up the case and made room.
I have a TV plugged into the S-Video out, and a CRT monitor in the VGA port.
The screen turns black for anywhere from half a second to 7 or so seconds, at random intervals. The problem seems to go away for a little while after I install drivers. I've tried two different NVIDIA drivers, 306.97 and 307.83, as well as letting windows update find a driver. The problem also goes away if I uninstall the drivers and just go with the basic vga drivers that take over when you have nothing else installed. I have tried changing resolutions and refresh rates, they don't seem to help. I also noticed that the TV does NOT flash at all, even when the CRT is.
Does anybody have a clue what's going on and better yet, how to fix it?
Thanks!
