Once in a blue moon i will be playing a game or surfing the web and my monitor will go black no signal. i restart my computer and sometimes that fixes it. Sometimes i have to take out my graphics card then put it back in to work.

This time i was playing a game and the screen went black. i restarted the computer and black screen and beeping every like 15 seconds. restarted it again and it booted up but now it acted like it was a brand new computer (keep in mind i reinstalled windows 4 months ago with no problems) it said configuring windows, cleaning up, and it acted like i had no drivers installed because my desktop did not take up the whole monitor. i then went into dxdiag from run and saw there was no information anywhere about my graphics card. WTF?

i installed a beta driver that fixed everything but WTF just happend? Why did that all happen?

I will play a game tomarrow see if it happens.

asus m5a99x evo
