Screen Crashing?

Question

Since just yeterday, my screen has crashed and it displays, "no input" like it does when you turn your computer off.
It only does this when i play a game called Guild Wars. My screen went blank 3 times last night, and about 10 times during this afternoon/evening possibly more. It does this every 10min (sometimes, 20 min if i'm lucky).

What does this mean? Is something wrong with my graphics or video card?
It's really starting to annoy me.

Answer 1

It mean that ur graphics card is not getting enough power to proceed he images/ frames to ur moniter....

Check u power plugs....inside ur mother board too...
update ur graphic driver...
get a new atleast 550 Watts power supply...
DONT play that game again if u arent sure about problem whether it is resolved or not.Chances are u might damage ur harddisk or graphic card, over time.

Answer 2

I agree with the first answer except the fact of the power supply. I personally own a sub-super computer and it runs on a 320 watt power supply with no problem. You only need 500-600 watts if your computer doubles as a server.
A sudden change in performance like that is a little strange. I'd try to re-install your graphics card driver after making sure your graphics card is secure in it's slot with no foreign bodies. If that doesn't help. You could have acquired a ram-leaching virus. Update your anti-virus software and perform a full-system scan. If you still have problems, contact a perfessional, or if you feel brave and confident enough to do it yourself, backup important files and reinstall your OS after a system-recovery opperation if your bios has one or reformat your harddrive.

I hope one of those solutions work. I hope it's something trivial. :)

Answer 3

the reason maybe the resolution is too large for your monitor, or the refresh rate is too high.. try lowering the screen resolution and the refresh rate of the game

Answer 4

Look for game patch too.You can download patches from game website.
