    this is my last post for my night its 1:16am here

    black screen issues will be tied to the video drivers somehow

    few things to test initially is place the NVidia driver in debug mode , this will lower the EVGA card to stock reference speeds see here how to do it

    Also try updating the NVidia driver to 361.43 and see if any change as well if not test also with 355.98

    can go from there

I'm not sure why but after performing a clean install of the 361.43 drivers (which were just released on the 21st of December) the black screen incident is no longer an issue. I can't find anything in the release notes which would have altered what I was experiencing, but I'll accept it. I had already done clean installs of the preceding driver, so it must have just been some instability with that particular driver and SWTOR. Regardless, thanks to your advice you helped me affirm that it was indeed my graphics card. Now all I have to deal with is SWTOR's typical optimization issues :eahigh_file:
