Yeah that's exactly what I thought, but I was monitoring the temps and they were normal, then boom it happens, while they're still normal.
*EDIT* I just noticed something....interesting. I booted back into windows again to try and update my graphics drivers, just before the download was finished and I was ready to uninstall my drivers, it crashed with the weird artifacts again! I could still move the mouse, after a few seconds it came back. Then something new happened. Everything kept dissapearing and going black for 5 seconds and then it comes back as normal. It does this over and over and over again every 5 or so seconds. Everything seems to function because I typed something out and moved a window while it was all black and the text was there/window was moved when it came back. Here's what's weird: I had task manager open at the time and I noticed my cpu as the normal 1-5% usage, however after it goes black and come back it's at 100% but only for a split second, everytime. It wasn't the monitor as the backlight was obviously on, it was the computer itself.
And I swear I just noticed some artifacts before I even got to the loading screen which suggests it isn't the drivers. Gaah this is so hard to pinpoint, it could be anything. Cheers guys, any ideas?
