I was playing "Supreme Commander" on my pc (specs below) when all of a sudden the monitor turned off. I rebooted and tried again and it happened again. I figures my graphics card, a ATI X1650 Pro, went bad. I removed my graphics card and placed it in another computer and it worked fine with no symptoms I had from the other computer. I stuck the card back in my other computer and it started acting up again. Then I placed a friends brand new ATI X1950XT in my computer and it worked fine. I have uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled them and still have a problem with the ATI X1650 Pro turning off the monitor when there is any type of load on the graphics card. Could this be a problem on the motherboard itself, like with the PCI Express Slot? And if it is, is there a way to make the secondary 16x PCI Express slot as the primary?

Sounds like the video card is heating up too quickly and can't get rid of the heat fast enough. Maybe you need to check the fan on the video card or get another fan to circulate the air more within your PC. I currently have 3 fans blowing inward in my PC and 1 blowing outward.
1 mounted on the front, blowing inward
1 mounted on the side, blowing inward
1 mounted on the top, blowing inward
1 mounted on the back, blowing outward
I used to have problems with my video card acting up from time to time and this seemed to help keep not only my video card cool, but also my CPU.
On a added note...If you want to use it now, open the side of the case and put a house fan blowing in on there...Just make sure that you don't spill anything into the fan...That would be disastrous.

Hi there. I had the same problem months ago when I try to play high end games like Sims 3 my monitor goes into power saving mode. I tried to check every possible causes of the problem. It could be that your computer is overheating try to clean your computer and check if your fans still works. Second it could me your power supply malfunctioning, maybe it does not meet the required power to make your game work. Last cause is your video card malfunctioning, what I did is to just buy a new video card and it works.
If you do not have spare power supply or video card you can go to a computer repair shop for them to check the possible problem that causes it to go into power saving mode. It can also save you money before you can buy a new one.
Hope this helps, Have a good day!
I's sure it is if you have the requirement to run this game. Include also 1GB Memory or up. You need to install all the required support program to run this game, like DirectX9.0c and Microsoft Runtime SDK 6.0 or up version.
According to the 9200 specs, 1680 x 1050 is not listed as a resolution option. It does list 1600 x 1200 The link below will show the specs for your video card. Radeio 9200 Specs
Sounds like you have a video card issue. You will need to replace your video card in your PC..Also, you can take another monitor and hook it up to your PC to see if you get the same results
