Hey
I am having a problem and I am not quite sure what it is, so here goes, I recently installed a new video card, I think about 2-3 weeks ago it is an Asus GeForce2.

As of just last night for some reason when I was playing UT, I lost my video out ??
hmmmmmmmmm, I thought that was weird. So today when I got home from work and tried to fly
around in MSF2K as soon as I looked out of the cockpit to my left, the same thing happened.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, now what??? also while I lose my video out I can hear the game playing just fine. OK, so today after I tried flying and then losing my video out, I reset my system and then I tried UT and as soon as I was in the game for ONE second **bam** no output.

So I reset the computer and go back into Windose and everything is fine... except when
I play any-game. In fact I have now been on the computer for 3 straight hours without any problems as I was doing some typing for my class.

I had a similar encounter while playing quake 3 the other night. For some reason my monitor went into sleep mode mid game. After I rapped the spacebar it came right back. I then disabled the sleep settings for the monitor. That was a fine how do yo do?

I doubt this helps you but I thought I'd share.
