I recently downgraded back to windows 7 and this annoying little problem started. Every so often the middle main monitor drops to black for a second then comes back. like it were switching inputs but there is nothing on the screen implying it was doing anything computer side or monitor side. I don't think its my card but its possible i guess. Only my main monitor out of three does it. the other two never have done it. Any ideas on what i could try? I tried reinstalling my Graphics drivers.

I am running 3 X 27" AOC LED monitors

Rig info:

i7 - 4770k
GTX 780 EVGA Classified
MSI z87 -G65 mobo
120gb SSD
32Gb gskill ram
1000W EVGA gold plus PSU

Interesting. Is this bug alleviated at all by turning off any video acceleration features in Chrome? I know that Firefox has what looks like an artifacting problem with AMD cards if you turn acceleration on; turning it off provides complete relief.
It probably is your graphics drivers. The Windows Event Logs may indicate that they crashed, but recovered.
Remove all graphics drivers. If your current card is an upgrade, make sure any prior drivers are removed also.
Reboot. Download and install the latest GeForce driver package for your card from www.nvidia.com.

Google chrome currently has a bug that causes the screen black for less than a second, it also can cause black bars around the screen when you open chrome. I notice that it was happening to me but I did some research about a week ago and found its a code bug in chrome. So just gotta wait for the patch.
