    Does anyone know why Windows 7 blinks my screen off all the time?

    Wrong refresh settings?
     
  3. Monitor problem? How does this occur - computer is dull for a few mins, computer just does it randomly, etc?

    Have you tried Googling this problem?

    Power saving mode is enabled, my screens go blank if there is no keyboard activity for about 15 minutes. Move the mouse or press a key and the screens come back on instantly.

    Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings

    Check all connections :) and shorts or pinches in cables :) then check hardware if not the problem turn off the shutdown settings under performance options

    What do you mean by "blink?

    Does it happen all the time? Its probably the refresh rate.

    Does it happen when you do not use your computer for a few minutes - that is power saving.

    did u upgrade? you're graphics card might not be strong enough to run 7. Or your power supply....ect.

    7 takes certain specs to run...if their not met...then weird things happen, then the PC dies.....
     
  8. My computer doesn't meet all of the needed system requirements and everything still runs fine. Occasionally the computer will lagg when loading too many things. I suppose it also depends on what computer you have.

    CPU: 2.20 GHz
    RAM: 512MB (503 MB used)
    System Type: 32-bit
    Some cheapie Graphics card

    My main issue is RAM, and I've considered upgrading too, but due to the type I need it's much cheaper to buy a new PC.
