    2 issues possibly related, Please try to help!

    I have 2 excrutiatingly annoying issues with my PC

    1. While I play a game in the usual full screen mode, after a minute or so the game will minimize to the desktop causing me to either die or make a huge mistake which makes life hard when playing BF3 or COD or any other for that matter.

    2. While typing, the cursor will suddenly vanish from infront of me & I have to click inside the type feild again to continue, sometimes I type whole sentences before I notice I've typed nothing. This happens almost as frequently as the screen minimising issue so I'm guessing they are some how related.

    Here's a list of things I've done to find the problem.

    Re-installed graphics drivers ( I have latest compatable drivers) even tried older ones
    Tried each & every individual setting in the nvidia control panel.
    Tried every available resoloution in game settings and every changable setting in graphics/video options.
    I always return all settings to their previous or default state.

    I even re-installed W7 (fresh install) & it's still happeneing which tells me its to do with hardware.

    There are no programs running in the background that are prompting me so thats not why it minimises to desktop either.

    Is there something I can use to generate a full PC report so someone may try to detect the issue?
    Please help, it's driving me nuts...really!

    MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

      No need to bump your  post.
      There does not seem to be an obvious answer.
      What game dare you playing?
      Do you also have the 32 bit version of Windows 7?
      Are you overclocking?

      This is not live chat...Volunteers are here as such and may not get back to every issue in 20 minutes...which is approx. when your patience ran out.
