well hello, at first my problem seemed to be a problem with my monitor.
this is what happens when iam playing a game on my computer. COULD be anything xcom from back in the DAY or a new game like battlefront. I will be playing for about 20 minutes or so. Then the monitor screen will go black then turn to a gray screen. So the monitor is still reading what the computer is sending. I think. Also all the sound stops and i basically am stuck not letting me do anything. I CANT return to window or anything.
thanks for the help.is your videocard well seated? .... and have you scanned for spyware/adware/viruses etc... ??Perhaps your monitor is set to go into standby mode?ok let me explain this a little better. I dont really know how the win xp does its blue screen of death. but it is kinda like that except i cant crtl alt del out of it.
the only reason i SAY the video could be the problem is because it acts all crazy. BUt everything stops sounds and video .Inspect your temperatures to see if they BECOME too high.im pretty sure that may be the problem. it seems however i cant get the temperature down. i cleaned and got rid of all the dust but it doesnt seem to help. any ideas of how to keep temp down.First post your temperatures.
