Using 7950 gpu screen keeps going black

[chesthing]

I decided to turn one of my mining rigs into my main computer several months ago and have had a problem with the screen going black for an instant then coming right back ever since. Things I have tried:
Used driver sweeper and re-run the driver I don't know, maybe half a dozen times?
Tried another pcie port
Tried another 7950 gpu
Tried different browsers
Tried lots of different memory and core clock settings

Nothing changes it. It will be fine for a couple days, then all of a sudden the screen will go black, come back, and it will repeat over and over until I reboot and it will be fine for a couple days again.
Does anyone have any idea wtf is causing this? any ideas greatly appreciated.

What are your computer specs.
Also, what is your operating system?

Msi 970a-g43 mb, 8gb ram, 120gb hd, Windows 7.
I haven't mined with it since I sold the other gpus, just used it for surfing basically.

What connection are you using to display on the screen?

try another monitor.
I've had a few go bad that way due to bad caps.

yeah ive had loads of problems with monitors in the past some aren't compatable with some hard ware and I can see it struggling with the miner in particular.

I'm using my 52" Sony Bravia with a 30' hdmi cable, wireless keyboard/mouse. I've also tried bringing the computer in the living room and using a 6' hdmi cable with no change. I've never had an issue with my dvd or satellite receiver using hdmi.

Sometimes when I go to a site with bright solid colors it will start blinking on and off right away, causing a need to reboot then it's fine. Before Mint went down it often seemed to start the moment I logged in - might have been all the bright green. Bittrex seems to get it going too sometimes.
Any ideas of settings I should look at?

Have you tried another graphical card?

Sorry, missed it.

You could try to run your computer with a linux dvd for a few days just to see how stable it is. To rule out the OS and drivers

defective vga, or probably corrupted windows 7, check the cables also
