System Specs: P4 3.2ghz; 1.5GB DDR Ram; GeForce 6800; Windows XP Pro SP2
This started about a week after I got my 6800, but not one other 6800 owner has this problem, so I think it's something else. After I log in to windows I see my desktop and a split second later, the screen goes black. Nothing. Everything is still powered, and I see the HD light flickering as it continues to load everything. I press power button: nothing. CTRL+ALT+DLT: nothing. Only way to shut down is to turn off the comp with my hard power switch on my antec power supply.
This happens about 60% of the time, and some nights I sit here for 20 minutes turning the computer on and turning it off after an unsuccessfull log in (screen going black again). Some days it won't happen at all.
Does anyone have any ideas? All my drivers are up to date and this is the ONLY problem my computer has, it's built like a rock. Could it be the monitor?
edit: I've been using my crappy monitor all day, and it happened a few times tonight. Definitely not the monitor. Now I'm really stumped.
