Having some Problems (May be video card related)

[sassoldier]

I've been having some issues playing games on my PC lately. Whatever I seem to play, the screen randomly flashes to black for a second, then back to normal, this happens quite often. In addition, I am getting severe framerate drops in certain parts of the games, but not others. I'm not sure why these problems have started; all my games used to run smooth as silk up until this last week. My drivers are up to date, and I'm pretty sure this isn't a virus problem or anything. What could be the issue?

Might be driver related nonetheless, sounds it. I'd recommend uninstalling current drivers, then download Driver cleaner Pro (freeware)

And run this in safe mode under the Nvidia cleaning solution. Then reinstall drivers normally. If you updated drivers recently, go back to the ones that were working correctly..
