You are on the right track when you cleaned the dust out of your computer system. See what is hapening is that when you play a game the computer has to work harder, this causes heat and this heat needs to be removed from the components of the computer system. If the heat is not removed from the computer system, it simply overheats. What you are experiencing is a computer system that is overheating, it is programed to enter power saving mode to put the components in a low power state, which reduces heat output thus preventing premanent damage.
To solve your problem you will need to find a way to increase airflow through your particular computer system. Some computer chassis allow for the installation of additional fans, the bigger the better as a bigger fan will allow for greater airflow at a slower RPM, which would create a cool and quite computer system.
Can you try the screen in another computer? I beleave the screen goes into power saveing mode when there is no input signal, thats what both my screens do.
Try to connect your computer to another monitor and reinstall your graphics card. In parallel, try to connect your monitor to another computer and check if it is working properly. You'll know for sure who the culprit is.
The monitor is not receiving signal from the computer. Is the power light on on the computer? If so - press and hold power button on computer until the power light goes off, then press again to restart. If the computer starts and you still have no picture it is most likely a video card or motherboard problem.
It sounds to me like the picture tube in the monitor is going out. I began to wonder if it was your video card until you mentioned that you used it with various computers. This tells me it's the monitor itself. Unfortunetly, I think your monitor may be due for retirement.
Do you have another monitor available to put in place of this one? Most likely the monitor has a problem and should be replaced. Before I purchase a new one though, I would either borrow a monitor to test my system or put this one on another computer to verify if it works. If it does, then you must test the video card.
