Hi Wondercai,

Can you post a little more info about your system - CPU, memory and if you are using onboard video or not.

Also, are you using standard CPU settings or overclocking?

It sounds like its overheating (maybe due to overclocking as Tootech says)
or the driver is the wrong one (this can be ruled out if you have not changed anything and this is a recent issue)
Do you have sufficient cooling of your case?

[Wondercai]

thank you for your quick reply.
I am running windows vista ultimate 64 bit but that is irelevant as the problem occurs on windows XP,
i am using the inbuilt graphics on the motherboard M2N- VM HDMI
amd triple core 2.3 processor
1 gig ddr2 1080 mhz ram but the inbuilt grpahics uses 128- 256 of the ram
also i am using inbuilt reaaltech HD sound
i have sufficent power supply at 400 watts.

I have tried swapping moniters, OS, RAM but problem still occurs.
I tried my brothers graphics card and the problem went so its definatley the graphics, also i havent overclocked the pc or graphics or changed anything since new, mothjerboard 4 months old.

Hope any of the info can give an indication of the problem.

If it works with another GPU then it will be that - onboard GPU's are not the best quality - time to invest in an add in card GPU

[Wondercai]

Doesn't really help since i cant afford a new card. that's why i was trying to fix the problem in the first place

[Dalo Harkin]

You dont need to spend a fortune on a new card - you could get one from as little as £20-£30

Totally agree with Dalo, I use one of these board myself with an overclocked CPU and an HD2400 ATI card.
