Well, it's a pretty new antec power supply. It's 350W and I don't
have much running on my system now so I don't think that could be it.

I'm getting the same thing, randoms screen resets, usually when I'm deleting
a large file. It also happens with any interaction with the Nvidia control
panel. Since it all started with the 6800 I put in, thought maybe it was
power too. It isn't. I've got an Antec 480W PS.

I'm convinced it's a driver issue, and something they need to get off their
asses and fix because it's damn irritating and probably not great for the
monitor either.

yeah, I'm using 61.77...should I roll back to an earlier version
maybe?

You can try rolling back to older driver. Please note, I am using 61.77 and
above without any problem.

Is that monitor is a older monitor?
Older monitor may have trouble refreshing or resync.

Try the following to see if it will help.
* Set your Refresh rate [Hz] 85Hz. If it set around 85, then set it down
like 75Hz and see if make any differences.
Does it make any differences?
Else try this -
* Turn off Vertical Sync.
Does it make any differences?
Else try this -
* Set Hardware acceleration to the highest like 4xS etc.
Does it make any differences?

Do you have another PC, try this card on another PC and see if the problem
exhibit on the new PC.
If so, your last resort is to get another card [Exchange / RMA etc.].

I read from someone having this problem that earlier drivers didn't display
the behavior. Having a 6800GT I don't have that choice. I'd try it if I
were you.

I have the exact same problem with my geforce Ti4200. All was fine
until I installed SP2, and then I started having intermittent flashes
where my screen would go blank for a second and then come back on. I
noticed it happening when opening windows or scrolling. I have tried
all the drivers from the website (I am currently using 6693), even
previous drivers that I never had a problem with. I have reformatted
my hard drive, and I still have the flashing issue only after
installing SP2. I am convinced it is an issue that surfaced as a
result of installing SP2, but I have exhausted all of my
troubleshooting ideas. If anyone has any ideas, I'd sure appreciate
hearing them.

I have almost the same problem with the 61.77 drivers when right-clicking on
any type of video file (avi,wmv,mpeg) or when using shortcuts like ctrl-x to
start moving that type of files. Very annoying but nothing more than than.
I am running Windows XP SP1. I don't have this problem on a Win2000 machine
(not with the 61.77 driver or with a newer one).

I haven't tested it with the latest driver yet but since I also need the
nvidia stereo drivers for my 3d glasses, I can't upgrate (yet).

Marcel

Hello,

I had the same problem with my 6800U. Reinstalling/ Updating the nforce
drivers from nvidia solved that problem (5.10)
What kind of Monitor do you use? TFT or CRT? Is it DVI ?

Regards,
Thorsten

Same problem
Installing the last drivers from nvidia didn't fix the problem for me
I'm fighting to uninstall directx and reinstall a previous version, but for
the moment i didn't manage to uninstall it successfully (see
and
)

Hi again,

ok this applies only if you have a nfoce chipset. If not try to update the
latest chipset drivers you have on board.

Regards,
Thorsten

P.S.: switching between graphic drivers didn't help me but the procedure I
mentioned earlier.

Same problem with me. 4200 with Win2K SP4 & 61.77 drivers. Connected via DVI
to a LG TFT running 1280x1024 32bit 60Hz
