Okay so my computer has been running fine for three years then 2 nights ago, I'm playing Warhammer and at a heavy action area all of a sudden my monitor went into Power saving mode. But it came back and the game was all distorted and frozen, so I was able to quit the game and just shut off my computer thinking my graphics card was overheating.
The next morning I turn my computer on, load up Warhammer, and my character is doing nothing just standing there and my monitor goes into power saver mode, but this time it didn't come back. So I had to restart my computer. Upon turning my computer on, the first thing I see is that the letters are white and purple when they should just be white. Then The Windows loading screen, then monitor went into power saver mode so I couldn't log in. I called my dad, he said I probably killed my graphics card, so since the card I has was the 7300GT, 3 years old, so I got a 9600GT. I put that into my computer and the computer turned on and working great. Or so I thought. I ran Second Life okay of course, then I tried running Day of Defeat Source and after running around for a bit the game the monitors went into power saver mode. I was ready to cry. So I tried Warhammer again and same problem. The monitors go into power saver mode and don't come back, but at least the computer reboots and I can see everything fine.
Here are my computer specs:
Processor:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.40GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory:
2048MB RAM
Video Card:
NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
My power supply:
Turbolink LC-A420ATX 420W
My Motherboard is the ECS C19-A SLI just in case.
So I don't know what it could be, I'm like too tired to function right now. Any suggestions would be great to help find out my problem. Let me know if you need any other info. Thanks in Advance
