Just now it happened, and after a couple minutes it turned back on, which is not something that happened before. Before this I have only seen it turning off by itself and I had to restart it after a few days to restore it myself.
I am not running any application that doesn't support aero, so that shouldn't be it. My PC also doesn't use power-saving settings either.
Why would windows 7 do this?
1maybe the service or the GPU driver crashed. Look into the eventlog if you have errors. – magicandre1981 – 2012-12-30T06:16:25.790
Thanks, do you know how to access that? Is it the win7 generic eventlog? It didn't show any tooltip in the tray for this but sometimes I used to get "driver crashed and so the application" tooltip in the tray. – Joan Venge – 2012-12-30T06:22:27.747

yes, look into the Windows Eventlog: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/226084-event-viewer-open-use-windows-7-a.html.
