Okay, what happens is whenever I start to lag (if that's the case, not entirely sure. Occured during a SP1 installation, then a codec installation, and then after an alt+tab between a game and AIM conversation), my mouse and keyboard suddenly freezes and shortly, my monitor shuts itself off (or goes black basically while it's still on[similar to hibernation]) which forces me to restart.

Does anyone have any information or solution regarding this matter? :<


Additional Information:

Recently formatted due to internet connection issues, today actually.
Currently running on SUNTEC 450W PSU, 512MB Kingston RAM, 1.6G Intel P4.

I'm suspecting my RAM, while my friend suggested that it was my PSU .. which I just bought recently, that came with a case.

Edit: Happened 4th time after I left the computer for 15 minutes or so while screensaver is running. Sigh

Background applications such as Winamp run just fine after the monitor locks up.

Sounds like a possible video card problem, Overheating maybe? Have you checked to see that the fan is running on it?
