Hi,

Recently, my screen has been randomly going black for 1-2 seconds at a time. I also suffer from severe frame rate drops before the blank screen.

I have tried 3 monitors, switching to a different dvi output on my gpu and I have also switched dvi cables.

I dont think my gpu (EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2gb) is overheating. It runs at 30°C normally and around 75°C when playing games.

Any ideas to what the problem is?

its not your gpu overheating. its your gpu dying (most likely)

update your drivers, see if that solves the problem.

I think it is just skyrim, all my other games look and run fine.

Any ideas on how to fix the glitch?

version 1.9 is the latest if i am not wrong.

Looks like I found the problem, I disabled bethesda's HD texture pack and it worked fine.

Thanks for you're help, much appreciated.
