Hi everyone,
For the last few days I use my computer for e-mail and the web. Then I play an online game and my video goes black and I have to turn my computer off, then back on. When I start again the same thing happens. Everything works fine with e-mail and the Internet. Then I play a game like WOW or LOTHO and then the screen goes black. I think my video card is over heating, NVidia 9600 GT, because I can usually play for a few hours before all this starts happenig. Then when the screen goes and I start over, the screen will go black in a matter of 10-20 minutes but I can start over and e-mail/Internet work fine.
I forgot to mention that I have the game on the lowest settings and the screen still goes black. When I first got my computer, about 9 months ago, I played these games on the highest setting with no problems.
What's your best guess guys ... video card???
