Specs of computer:
Mobo: ABIT IP35-E LGA 775
Proccessor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4500
Graphics Card: MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
Memory: mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
OS: Windows Vista 64-bit.
A little backstory: I had this computer build about a month ago, when I first got it I was browsing deviantart when my screen just turned pure white, nothing I pressed got out of it, couldn't see the mouse or anything. I restarted my computer and went back to deviantart and around 3 minutes later I get the same issue except now it's pure black. However, once I started using Firefox it seemed to go away until I rebooted my computer and it did it at the login screen, rebooted did it at the login screen again after about 3 minutes.
I play lots of games and it didn't do it while playing any games....until just about 30 minutes ago, just walking around and a pure black screen comes up (though I can hear the sound), tried alt+tab, ctrl+alt+del, nothing.
I ran memtest for around 6 hours but no errors came up. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
Oh, and I have all the windows updates and updated drivers for everything.
I'm not overclocking either.
