Problem:
In games: Screen starts to go black after a while and then flashes back to game... Keeps on doing this more frequently and for longer if you keep on playing. When you come back there is normally a graphics glitch like a small line of blurred graphics for a second and then it goes back to normal. This happens more frequently in graphics intensive games.
[Happens the quickest in Racing game: GRID]
What I've tried:
*Installed new CPU cooler(ZALMAN mentioned above), CPU temp was running bit high.
*Dusted components/ fans
*Checked all the connections.
*Installed latest drivers for graphics card (from leadtek and then tried latest from nvidia.)
*Uninstalled Intel TurboBoost
*Did windows updates
I suspect that it is my graphics card. I'm considering taking it to the place I bought it and asking them to take a look at the card since it is still under warranty.
Any other suggestions/ Advice??
