I've been having this annoying problem where If I play a fairly demanding game, my LCD screen goes black. "No Signal" is printed on the screen and it goes on standby. Turning the monitor off and on does nothing. The only way I can restore the signal is to manually turn off the machine. (If i leave the computer alone, it keeps playing the game sounds, but after a few minutes the computer crashes and reboots.)
I think my X1950 is overheating because if I set the fan speed to 100% (fixed) it works longer (it still kills signal, but I can play for an hour vs 30 mins for example).
If I open a window and let the freezing air of the outdoors flow in, and use my room as a giant cooler for the PC it's fine. But I don't want to have to wear a coat in my room every time I want to play COD4 or crysis for more than 25 minutes at a time.
BTW: this machine does not have the same specs as the one under my name
specs are:
Athlon X2 4800+
Radeon X1950 Pro
2GB A-DATA RAM
NZXT PP500 Power Supply
160GB Samsung SATA hard drive
DVD-RAM Drive (LG)
