Well I'm dealing with this display problem as I type to you. I've already devoured google trying to find this problem elsewhere but every site where someone has this problem there hasn't ever been a solution for it. I'll try and give you a detailed synopsis of what is going on.

While at my desktop, in IE, or almost any other program my screen will flash black for 1 second then go back to whatever the original image was. Everyhing "seems" to lock up when it flashes in that you can't see the cursor move or "seem" to press any keys but it is actually just not reporting those actions to the display (they are happening but just not being displayed). Here is my hardware.


Athlon 64 3200+
Asus K8V SE Deluxe
2x256mb Kingston PC3200
Geforce 3 Ti200
Plextor Burner
KDS 19" Monitor
Windows XP Pro SP1

I've tried 3 different display drivers but I'm going to see if a standard VGA driver has the same behavior.

Thanks for the help!
 
Sorry admins I probably should have put this in the video section, feel free to move it.

In the meantime I have standard VGA drivers loaded on the machine and the flashing has completely stopped. Maybe I'll keep trying different drivers to see if one works well for me...
