screen turns black during gameplay

i have the latest nvidia 301.42 driver, with a gtx 680. when i play AC Revelations, once my computer restarted and usually after maybe half hour more of playing the screen turns black for a few seconds thne the game works again and it runs choppy, i will usually quit and restart the game or just keep playing and it the black screen may happen again. it is possible ubisoft made a crap port that does not work that well. however i was just wondering if i should just contact pny for a replacement or if there is something else i can do.

Is it only in that game or does it happen in other games too? That problem usually occurs when your GPU is running too hot and it "resets" itself. Could be also that you don't have sufficient power supply 500W-600W should be enough. And also, doesn't Nvidia have some kind of a automatic overclocking program on its driver package, better check that out too if it works correctly.zxl

I had my screen go black for a few seconds while just on the desktop.

Windows popped up a window over in the Notification Area that explained that the driver had stopped responding but had recovered.

I hope that helps you out some.

Update drivers to 304.79.

I wish they would do that for all of their cards at the same time, but Nvidia doesn't.
