Im a little stumped about what this might be. Just for no reason at all my moniter goes totally black. It doesn't matter if im in a game or on the desktop. It usually happens after ive been playing for a couple hours, sometimes longer. The weird thing is when it goes out, the game is still running. I can still move and shoot like nothing happened, it's like going blind. The last time it happened i took a screenshot just to see, when i was able to get back on, the screenshot was normal like nothing happened yet my screen was totally black. Even with everything shut down the moniter lights up for a split second then goes out.
I thought it might be my gfx card, so i tryed reinstalling the latest driver, but it didn't work. Then i took it out and cleaned it the best i could but that didn't work either. the only way it will come back on is to let it sit for atleast a half hour. I don't have another moniter or gfx card to plug in and test so im kinda screwed atm.
Anyone have any bright ideas on what this might be? It's really pissing me off
Card: Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra 256mb
Moniter: NEC Opticlear MultiSnyc LCD 1770gx
My rig is about 2 years old, no new stuff on it.
Seems to me it's the moniter, but im not sure.
