My computer screen goes black for a few seconds when it "thinking". Its like it just turns off. It occurs when moving from one window to another or open email etc. It comes back on by itself. Moving the mouse doesn't help. You just have to wait. It does not do it every time but often. Possible problems? Resolutions? Thanks in advance for any advice!

You need to be a bit more detailed. Is this with every program you use, or just programs that are fullscreen, e.g. Games.
I've never seen or heard of the problem you are describing before. Sounds very odd.

In the above example I actually went into my BIOS and limited the Intel(R) HD3000 Graphics to 128MB for testing software (for real, not in a 64-bit Guest VM).
Figured it might help this thread a little, since I was doing something similar anyway.

Try a fresh install of Mozilla Firefox and load it in 'Safe Mode' (various Internet search engine results for this), if you don't have it installed it should be untouched by bad addons.
I had no idea the 'net had gotten that bad...

Okay so I've disabled & uninstalled Better Surf & Search Protect on IE & GC and through the control panel. That seems to have fixed the problem. Could there be other files related to these hidden on my computer that I need to get rid of?
