Aero turned off by itself and then came back on

[techfail50]

I was on my computer when all of a sudden aero turned off then after a little bit came back on. This has never happened before is there something wrong with my PC?

Windows sometimes has temporary "glitches", doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with the PC.

I would only be concerned if it happened frequently, or if there were other regular glitches as well as that one.

Windows 7 aero can result to basic if low on ram. Check ram is accounted for.

As said sometimes Windows can disable aero when it thinks its low on ram but it usually asks first, its happened to me alt tabbing from a taxing game. Might have missed the message?

Whats your system specs and what were you doing when it done this?

Your system is more than enough and browsing wouldn't cause that.

Check memory is accounted for in task manager and bios.
