481206 2006-08-29 20:10:00 Going black usually indicate a video card going south . . . er . . . to NZ'rs it means dying .

I think it might be from the intense use of the card when you are gaming . . . . and using the internet isn't that much drag on the card so you can succeed to use it normally .

Add the load of anti-aliasing and rapid refresh rates to make a game look good, takes a lot of resource and the card's pooping out . . . or was never up to the job in the 1st place .

I don't suspect losing power from the PSU or anything . . . but I might be wrong .

What vid card are you using . . what system . . . what games don't work . . etc . . . etc .
