    i think your screen is reverting to 8 bit color instead of 32 bit color not the computer, am i correct?

    You may be right about the screen itself returning to 8 bit but I don't seem to be able to rectify the problem. Thank you for replying to my thread. tuppy34

    But did you uninstall your current video card drivers, before you reinstalled whatever drivers you installed? If not, you didn't change anything.

    There is no exclamation mark in device manager.The screen goes blank for about 5 seconds then comes back as 8 bit.Is it possible that this is caused by a programme I have installed.
    Thank you for replying to this thread.
