Windows 7 Aero goes to basic randomly

[kr7777]

for the last few days my Windows 7 Aero goes to basic all by itself for say 1-2 minutes dont know what to do.

Is your system overclocked at all? An unstable overclock can cause the svchost.exe associated with Aero to timeout.

What are your system specs?

 

[kr7777]

yes.cpu is oced to 3.8ghz. but it was stable with prime 95 for 2 hrs

 

[EarthDog]

2 hours...? That should be fine but not always. Most people will say to run it four hours, but to each their own...

Anyway, have you tried reinstalling and/or updating your GPU drivers since Aero is run with GPU acceleration?

Revert to stock clocks and see if the issue persists.

... and list your system spec's like Luke asked you to.

Edit: I see you listed your system spec's in another thread you started regarding overclocking your GPU, so I'll just copy / paste them here:

phenom x6 1100t oced to 3.8ghz.
seasonic s12II 520watt bronze psu.
8gb zion ram 1333mhz.
zetway ha12 motherboard.
driver 332.21.
using msi afterburner 2.3.1.

type aero in the search bar. Then tell aero to look for problems. It may auto correct it'self.
