Screen goes black at times.

Hey guys
Got a bit of a problem here. Just this morning my screen has been going black and then turning back to normal again at like, 5-10 second intervals. It's connected to my GPU via DVI cable and i've tried changing cable and restarting my com, but no change. I'm guessing it's my GPU that has a problem now but I don't really know how to test it. If I connect my screen to the motherboard DVI, it says no video input detected. Anyone can help? TIA.

GPU model? I used to have this issue and if I am not wrong it is the driver that is crashing constantly. My solution was to underclock my GPU and it works!

I think the common recommendation is update your drivers?

Hi my GPU is a Sapphire HD7850 OC 2GB. The clock speeds haven't been changed, at 920Mhz and Memory at 1250Mhz.

Drivers are up to date, unless there's been a driver update within the last month or so.
