*Help* Random Blank Screen

[jimlwk]

Hey guys, my computer is getting random blank screen when I am playing WOW. (not exactly a very demanding game by my rig standards). So is there any way to detect what's wrong with my com?

The screen can suddenly go blank.. and then back again.. then blank.. and then my screen will go into power saver mode and there's nothing I can do from there. I believe the music from the game is still playing but I cannot input any commands into the game anymore from there.

Update: It just happened again. Start game > within 1 min.. screen goes blank.. cannot alt F4> suddenly back to normal > Alt F4 to quit > Now it seems fine. This is getting annoying..

does this only happen in the game? most likely could be gpu

reseat the RAM and video card and see if it goes away, update your Drivers for your GPU

and run a memtest on the RAM if you can

Go to Device Manager and make sure all hardware are OK.

Are you able to shutdown the game window when this happens?
If yes, then most likely it's due to the GPU.....otherwise u may wish to test it using another monitor.
