Alright, issue has been going on for some time, and I'm at a loss.
Old video card had to be sent back and replaced. Got a nVidia 285 GTX to replace it. However, at the same time, hard drive was dying, which I replaced. Installed Windows 7 with a backup video card; 8800GTS 320MB.
Got new card, swapped it out, and installed new graphic drivers for it.
Now after some amount of time, and its variable, nothing predictable; I lose display, and the computer does a quasi-crash. Gets stuck, as well as monitors say no graphics display available.
I tried updating the graphics drivers, with no change.
Here's my thinking and need advice/tips:
Graphic drivers is the cause of it. I need to uninstall all graphic drivers on computer, then reinstall.
Video card isn't plugged in correctly: I did check and it does appear to be plugged in fully. Went so far as to disconnect it and plug it back in.
Heat is not a problem; temps are resonable.
