HELP! Screen keeps going black.

[Krizztech]

HI,

My PC will come on as normal I will be playing games for 10-15mins and then all of a sudden my monitors goes black and says 'No Signal' but the computer will still be on. Then if I reboot the PC it will start up normal again and I can play for 10-15mins and then the same thing occurs. What could this be? any help will be grateful.

Thanks

Oh man... is it a desktop? Did you build it? sounds like something is losing power or getting too hot... like a video card. you should try using benchmarking software to see if you can simulate the crash. Does your chip have an onboard graphics card? To see if it does that without the main GPU? I really have no idea what your dealing with so its harder to guess.

I'm pretty sure its the graphics card cutting out when its under a certain amount of load, I think it could just be wear and tear as its getting quite old now
