Oblivion Help: Black screen problem.

[Mikiyikiy]

Okay, here's the deal. In certain areas of oblivion, my entire screen is black when I look in certain directions,  it might be my view, or where my mouse is going, but all I know is that the screen fades black until I find some other area, then it goes back to what it was before. It happens in Jail Cells, and some guys house I was in. I've never had something like this happen to me before. Can anyone tell me what to do?

Black Screen
Problem
The game screen would randomly turn black except for the user interface every 30 minutes or so.
Cause
Unknown - but potentially an overtaxed graphics card via heat or overclocking
Workaround
This problem appears mostly on computers running Nvidia's Geforce 7xxx and 8xxx series video cards; downclocking the video card and/or changing the video card's driver seems to fix this problem on most computers. Additionally, disabling the HDR feature seems to help solve this problem. It has also been found that disabling AGP fast writes on AGP-based video cards may fix this glitch as well. Setting "int shadows" to 0 solves this problem when using HDR (tested on a GeForce 8800 GTX overclocked from PNY).
Workaround 2
Hit the tilde key (~) to bring up the console. Type CAL and hit enter. Hit the tilde key again. Resets the game's graphics and brings the game screen back.

hope that helps
