Hm, sometimes when playing daoc (only happened in this game), monitor seems to turn itself off or something, all I can do is to press the panic button and reboot, then everything works fine again.
Tried some different drivers and stuff, nooo idea what this is.
Got a Radeon 9600 if that helps. 0o

When this happens, can u press the power button on the monitor on and off - do you get the "picture" back (at least for a while)?

Are you overclocking your gfx card?

Alot of people have this problem. http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33752579&page=1&pp=30 shows you're not alone with this problem...

Maybe update your chipset drivers would help. Many people have found 3.10 or other 3.xx drivers to work great.

Nope, have to reboot for it to work again, and not overclocking.

What motherboard are you using? cos asus ones have a load of problems with 9600s.
Try the 3.10s , turn fast writes off and VPU recover off.

Fixed all the problems i was getting with mine.
