screen goes blank

PADDYO · 07-01-2008, 06:45 AM

My screen seems to go blank,but this only happens when im using autocad.
Theres no messages pop up before it happens.
Is this a graphics card problem?
Strangely,this happened before,about 6 weeks back,I installed a new graphics card,couldnt get it going properly(maybe i didnt install it properly)
Then i put the old card in,ran the windows updates and no problem until now!
