I was having this freaky problem with my monitor where every now and then (like every hour of so) it would turn off and then turn back on again. And a couple times a day it would make this weird click-pop sound when it did that and it would just turn off for good and I'd have to restart the computer. I got advice from someone that I should uninstall my nvidia drivers and then reset to the via chipset that came with the computer and download the latest drivers for that, apply directx updates and corrected drivers for the monitor, and THEN reinstalling the nvidia card. I uninstalled the nvidia drivers but when i run dxdiag it doesn't say anything about my chip, it just says i'm using nothing. how do i reset back to the chip?? and also does anyone think the solution i was given will work?
Answers:
after u uninstall u need to reinstall everything u uninstalled . i think it will probably work if the problem is indeed driver related ... u need to eliminate that anyway before u start troubleshooting hardware ...
Just put the Nvidia card back in and reinstall the drivers for it, you don't have to do all of that other stuff just to refresh your drivers. Think about it it could be the monitor going bad, they do that from time to time. I have been in the repair tech business for a long time and never had to go through alll of that.
