Strange thing is, I know the screen saver used to work.... not sure when exactly it stopped though :/

Thinking I just need to maybe refresh my WI score... this is what happens when I try.. the plot thickens...

I've tried re-installing my Nvidia drivers.. no luck.

Any ideas... tried sfc scan too. no luck.

Edit: Just for the record, everything else is running great on the rig. Ultra BF3 settings 40+fps.

Are you using the most current drivers from GeForce's website?

Go to Add / Remove programs and look for a Program called "Asus Gamer OSD" or "Asus Gamer OSD AP" and remove that and see if it fixes the issue.

What about running the drivers in compatibility mode?
