Hi all
I recently had my PC upgraded RAM-wise. Since then an intermittent problem has occurred, sometimes it's fine for a couple of hours, other times it'll happen every few minutes;
The screen goes completely blank and the PC unit keeps whirring away as though it's working fine but I can't get the screen to work again without rebooting the whole lot.
I've tried the monitor with another CPU and the CPU with another monitor and both work perfectly but when I put them together this problem keeps happening and it's driving me mad!
The other thing I've noticed is that every time I shut the PC down it says there are windows updates to be installed (7 or 8 of them) but this never happened previously. The monitor is the same as before the RAM was added.
The other thing I've just realised is that it'll do the crashy thing within a few seconds of opening and starting to use google earth.
Can anyone suggest the cause(s) and possible solutions?
Any advice gratefully received.
