Small problem
  2 / 2    
Just had a look through event viewer, it looks like it is the Windows Desktop Manager service causing it all, as we know, games disable this when they initially load (so you lose aero etc) but for some reason windows was trying to reactivate it while i was still playing, this in turn crashed out the nvidia display driver (nvdm.dll i think) which it auto recovers, i think this is the point the screen then goes blank, and then it creates an error report which i never see.

Gonna try disabling DWM via services before i load a game, see if that makes a difference.

Cheers for the help chaps
