Hi,

Ok heres the problem that I am having. While in windows or during a game the screen on the monitor will flash black a few times beforewhat appears to be idle. I pressed the power button on the monitor when this happened and it came back on, but off again afteronly a few seconds. I use a screen resolution of 1024 x 768. It happens when playing any game after about 5 minutes. Computer
temperature at the time of the screen going black according to bios was motherboard 39 degrees C / 102 degrees F and the cpu was at 51 degrees C / 123 degrees F. Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to ask any questions regarding this issue. =)

it happens while in windows also, not only in games. Could my video card, monitor or motherboard be on the verge of death? lol =)
