Issue when Refreshing

Hello,

I have this Desktop PC:
Mobo: Intel DG41RQ
CPU: core 2 duo E7500
GPU: Sapphire AMD 5450 2 GB
RAM: Dynet 4 GB
Monitor: ASUS VH203

The problem is, when I press the refresh button via mouse or just press F5, the display blacks out for few seconds.
some times, display blacks out even when not pressing F5 !
Its happening since a few hours now !

Thanks in advance for all your help guys !

Most common problem after long use is dust buildup around heatsinks and fans, if you havent already take a look inside and check it out.

but bro I cleaned it up like last month..
today, I took out the GPU card and connected the VGA cable on-board mobo,
now new problem arrived, PC reboots automatically !
Funny thing is, its for now happening only while using Opera Browser !
Its rebooted now several times, So I stopped using Opera for now...
Don't know what will happen next

I think I would be tempted to look at a fault with the PSU.  Further to what Bud has said have a close look at the regulators to the left of the CPU, they can have grey like dust deposits on them and it can be conductive.
Also try taking out the GPU card and use the on board only and see what happens then.

So it can be the PSU !
I'll just disasemble it, clean it up throughly and then see what heppens.
This time I'll open up the PSU too..

And BTW D, its rebooting only after I removed the GPU card and its on on board only, as I mentioned above.

Re: Issue when Refreshing

Sounds like Chrome GPU acceleration issue. Try other browsers or disable GPU for Chrome/Iron/Opera/Vivaldi or any other Chromium based browser.
