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.
 
hmm...mine has been doing that now too...cept mine only does it in CoD4 for like 10 seconds...pure black screen...can hear sound...but goes away after a few...wish I knew what was causing it so I could tell ya how to fix it..
