Hello,
I recently reformatted my hard drive because i could't get my copy of half life 2 to start. I immediately had troubles with my ati all in wonder 9800. when i would start the game, it would play the intro and then all of a sudden the monitor would go into power save moe and i would have to reset the computer. At first this happened only when playing the game but now it happens every haalf hour or so even if i am just surfing the internet. Whats going on?
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Those temps are great, in fact I wonder if they are accurate, especially the hard drive. Mine run up around 50C.
It could be the video card, but I don't know how to check it either, maybe someone else does. Is the fan running at a good speed?

But anyway I would suggest checking your memory.
Memory test

There is a version to create a bootable floppy diskette and/or an ISO for creating a CD.
Run it for a few hours, or better yet overnight, and any failures are unacceptable.

If you clean the box, do not use a vacuum cleaner, they can cause static problems. A can of compressed air is best.

hi, I just go a new pc about 2 months ago. It has Vista and is a 64 bit. I will be working on something then all of a sudden my monitor screen goes black. My lights are still on, on the cpu. Is this what happens to yours?
Thanks
