Hello oxodesign,
It looks like you were experiencing issues with the Release Candidate (RC) of Windows 7 where the monitor would hang whenever a program used DirectX, and even when trying to run dxdiag from the command prompt. You mentioned that you had downloaded the latest drivers for your NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT graphics card, but it didn't resolve the problem.
Given that you mentioned reinstalling the BETA version of Windows fixed the issue, it's likely that there was a compatibility issue or a problem specific to the RC version you were using. Since the BETA version is working fine, it might be best to stick with that version for now until a stable version of Windows 7 is released.
If you encounter any further issues or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask for help here on the forum!
Best regards.
