ok. now we can start finalizing.

9300k is normal colour standard. it deals with what is termed colour temperature.
> mine is currently set to C1 , can this have a bearing ?
not really. this is what you should use.
for your own understanding of diff temps, put something up on screen that has plenty of colour, brightness, and contrast. select setting to see how over all appearance changes.
i went thru basics of colour temp when i went to tech classes with ampex video. it was most interesting.
when i went into colour photo finishing equipment service, colour temp became more clear.

you did, and finalizing may be you putting it to use, if you care to pull monitor case cover.
not knowing just how far you want to go with this, i have saved telling you that your monitor may be where problem lies. tho you may be coming aware of this yourself.
driver configs had to be eliminated first, and they are easiest to fix. :)
to insure that we have eliminated all before monitor, please verify that you have completely disabled all apm in bios.
if anything is still on, disable it. return to x, any res you want. ;)
insure that you still have symptoms.
believe it or not, thunk and thunggg, how they occur, is a very important part of understanding where problem is.

not really a lie, you just had not 'ratfm'. so look thru again to see what it tells about auto shut down protection. ;)
next, does manual mention anything about monitor having any type off a controllable blanking? [/c&p]
