I understand that my hard drive is utter shite.
Also i have the recurring problem on my PC black screening when playing games, where the pc keeps running and the screens get no signal.

Your actual black screen problem could be a psu issue. Maybe it's also the culprit for your benchmarks, these are too generic though. You can find reliable benchmarks in techpowerup

make sure the mb has all of the bios updates. download the newest intel chipset drivers for the mb. make sure the mb set to achi mode on the sata ports and not ide. make sure your on the intel and not the asmedia sata ports.

When the screen blanks is it obvious the the application is still running? Can you alt tab?

Rehearse a shutdown quick key while in your app so when the screen blanks you're confident.

If windows responds to the key strokes and does what you want then would help you narrow down the issue. Id suspect gpu / video cable / monitor & it's power.

If Windows doesnt respond, the pc has frozen and its another issue.

When it black screens the Monitors gets no signal yet everything still runs, i am able to hear audio and still talk to friends through mic

What happens before the screen goes blank? You said your pc is under performing, whats happening?

Have you tried disconnecing / reconnecting video cable?

 

[triplestack92]

ive tried reconnecting, sometimes i know its gonna black screen because i see my computer crash completely, not just the application, i cant move my cursor and it just goes black, yet sometimes it run perfectly fine a still just goes black

How do i do this? I have driver booster but im not sure if it picks up the motherboard and intel chip drivers?

 

[boju]

Get rid of driver booster, dont need such things and wouldn't be surprised thats your issue. Fingers crossed.

Not just the program but the drivers it installed too. May need to reinstall Windows.

Drivers you need is just motherboard and they'll all be there at your motherboard's website. Gpu drivers from Geforce.com
