I was watching a DVD the other day, and out of the blue my screen just went black. Wouldn't display anything at all. I could still hear the audio, but there was kind of another noise drowning it out...

Anyway, after i restarted i've had nothing but problems. The video will cut out after using the computer for 5 minutes, and the only way to fix it is to restart. Yesterday, i formatted completely, and everything seemed to go fine, but it crashed after 5 minutes in windows again.

Any suggestions?

Hmm, heat's always a good place to start. GPU fan ok? Then check voltages, everything ok there?
