Hey everyone,
I had another thread where I mentioned that everything was running smoothly. Looks like I spoke a little too soon as I've encountered a couple minor problems that I hope doesn't end up being too big of a deal.
Sometimes when booting the computer up, somewhere in the boot process (before the Windows log-in appears) the screen goes blank. It's just black. Nothing is responsive so I have to manually power off the computer and restart it. This has happened twice.
Other times, when booting the computer up again and during the boot process, instead of the screen going blank - it has some weird color distortion over the entire screen. Looks like a rug pattern or something. Once again nothing is responsive and I have to manually power off and restart it. This has also happened twice.
Something I noticed: This only seems to happen when it's a fresh start up. It hasn't happened yet after a restart. Only after the computer has been shut down for a while. Not sure if that really makes a difference or not.
Anyone have a clue? I've tried reinstalling drivers for the graphics card and that hasn't seemed to help.
Specs: (everything is stock, no OC)
Intel Core i5
Asus Radeon 5850
500gb 7200rpm Samsung Spinpoint
4gb GSkill 12800 RAM
650w Antec True Power New PSU
Vista Home Premium 64 bit
