Ok here's the system.
Windows XP home edition service pack 3. AMD Athlon 64 processor. My mobo is model K8M800M by via with the latest chipset drivers installed. I have a corsair 400w power supply with 30a on the 12v. The gpu is a sapphire radeon HD3650 512mb ddr2 agp card. The latest driver directly from sapphire is installed. The system BIOS is by phoenix award and is version 6.00 pg. It has been flashed and updated to the newest system bios which specifically stated the update was to fix an issue with agp display problems. All of this is powering basic internet browsing, home pc usage, and world of warcraft on low settings.
It should all be working perfectly fine correct? Wrong. When playing world of warcraft, the game will randomly freeze up regardless of time played and my screen will go blank saying No display. This can happen as soon as I load the game or 30 mins into play time or during a raid when I've been playing for 3+ hours. It's random and extremely annoying.
I've done all the troubleshooting I can possibly think of including taking off the side of my tower, using compressed air to clean dust out, and playing with the side off to see if overheating is the issue. It's not. Drivers are all up to date. The only thing I can think of is when I downloaded the VIA hyperion pro chipset package the agp driver is listed as v4.60 and dated for april of 2009. When I go to device manager and look at my cpu to agp2.0/3.0 controller its dated for 2003.
Sorry for the wall of text but I wanted to include all the info I could so one of you kind souls may be able to shed some light on this issue. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any help offered.
