Graphics Problem - Screen Goes Black Randomly

Unemuzerexer · Aug 13, 2005, 01:03 AM

Hi, i got a 6600GT AGP gcard, and sometimes usally when playing games, my screen goes all black, and says no connection as if i disconnected my monitor from my gcard, and only fix is Reset.

ALso another problem i have, with some games like Theif 3, it sometimes just hard locks and i gota reset? it can be 20 mins or 2 hours, but it Hardlocks and gota reset.

Any ideas? i was maybe thinking it could be my Powersupply, as its 350watt, and like my gcard speciall plug aint plugged into the power but on one of its wires.

like you said, it sounds like a power supply problem. the only other thing i can think of is a graphics card problem. one solution to test this is to buy an identical card from best buy, test it, and then send it back.
