is the message wich is displayed on my monitor after it crashes from a game of bf 1942 or any other intensive 3d application. i cannot see any of the desktop just a black screen with the message, but i can hear things. is it a heat problem or what? its really annoying i cant play any games. what can i do about it?

thanks.

sounds like one of 2 things.

1. Power save is kicki in for some odd reason. doesn't make much sense unless you are not actively playing at the time..
2. Video card overheating due to horrid airflow in the case.
