Hey guys, got a quick question here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this isn't a big issue, but I recently upgraded a few things on my PC and now whenever I open a game or open some (not all) programs I will get a brief black screen for just a moment and then everything runs fine, it almost looks like the monitor goes to sleep but it works fine. I do not lose any audio and it doesn't impair performance but it still has me worried.

ASRock Z77 Extreme4
GeForce GTX 650 Ti
Intel Core i5-3350P Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz
CORSAIR CX series CX600

Above are the updates I have recently added to my PC. Like I said, at this point, there have been no performance issues, temps are good and GPU is working just fine. I wanted to get this out here as a precautionary measure just in case this could develop into something.

Thanks in advance! and let me know if there is anymore info anyone may need

Since there is still no answer I will update. I have reseated my GPU and rolled back to previous drivers but to no avail. Once again, the games and programs work fine, it's just this black screen that is new to me. If I tab out of a game it does the same thing. Black screen for about 3 seconds, then everything pops up fine. I have just never had this happen before until a month or so ago so it just had me worried.

Thanks!

So no answer yet. I plugged my wifes monitor into this PC and the problem did not happen so I believe it's a monitor issue. I use a Hannspree HF207.
