| 470836 | 2006-07-14 12:03:00 | the prob is when i play games like rome total war and the sims 2 the games sometimes freezes and i have to reset the monitor before i can do anything....sometimes the monitor just goes blank during the game saying it is not receiving any signals and then i have to reset the computer. ive lowered the graphics settings but it still happens.....i got the latest driver......... i have a Gecube Ati radeon 9600Pro 256MB (AGP) running win2000pro Athlon 64 3200+ heres the website www.gecube.com |

| 470837 | 2006-07-14 12:59:00 | Hello there. Have you tried plugging in another monitor to determine where the fault lies? Why do you have to "reset your monitor" when your game hangs? Cheers :) |
