Periodic Black Screens When Not Gaming
Hi Everyone. The desktop I occasionally use has been acting oddly for the past year or so. Since I have a little more free time, I'd like to fix it. I'm a little stumped. I'd figure the video card is the culprit but I'll let you all hazard a guess. The specs are: Phenom II 955 @ 3.2 790FX...- DkRk

nVidia GTX 470
I'm considering selling a Zotac 470, with the reference cooler. It has been run overclocked (in varying degrees) during gaming sessions, with MSI Afterburner. Looking at 560ti's, which can be had at the sub-$200 level, I'm thinking about a $130 ceiling? Or am I out to lunch?- DkRk
