Hello Guys, I'm with that problem, I installed GTA IV today, and When i'm playing then screen stand refreshing with a black screen and then comes back, i'm very pissed about this, I thought was overclocking settings but I went to BIOS and let the BIOS stock config, I don't know what to do now.
Please anyone could explain what that happens ?

FX-4100 3.6GHz@3.8 Boost
4GB RAM DDR3 1333 MHz
GA-78LMT-S2P REV 5.0, updated bios
PSU : Corsair CX430 V2
HD Samsung 500GB
DVD RW+/R Sony
Windows 7 Ultimate X64
GPU PCI-E : HD 6770
GPU Onboard : HD 3000


One more thing, my graphics is in a little Overclock, and my Onboard graphics is activated too
Seems the driver get desactivated and then get activated again.
It's weird.


Sorry about my english i'm not a native speaker.

On first look it seems like its the video card drivers crashing. Might want to make sure your video card drivers are up to date and try running the GPU at stock speeds.

Thanks for Reply.

My drivers are up to date, i'll test the graphics card in stock clock.

You guys don't think might be the chipset graphic ?

Because it is activated too, it might be warming too much and causing this problem.

That could be a possibility. Drop to stock clocks on the graphics and see if the problem is still there. If so, disable the onboard and check again.

I had an onboard GPU get too hot on an AMD board I owned in the past and it did not black out- it just up and died, permanently.
