I bought an Inno3D Geforce FX 5600 a couple of days ago. After installing new graphics card yesterday it seemed to work fine at first, but then I discovered the screen keeps going black for approx 1 second every so often. Frequency of 'black screen effect' varies from once every 10 mins to going an hour without any problems. Doesnt seem connected to any specific application.
Somone suggested turning AGP Fast Write off, but this had no effect on the above problem.

Any help would be much appreciated... do you guys think I have a faulty card, or is there some setting I'm overlooking? Im concerned the screen will go black and not come back on again.

If it helps, Im using a MSI MS-6570 NForce2 motherboard, with Award BIOS V3.90.
