When I play games my screen shuts down temporarily and them it returns.
There is a message about the drivers causing this.
I have the latest drivers installed. What can I do?
It is possible that you are playing the game at a higher resolution than your video card can support. Even if your computer is capable of displaying a high resolution during normal browsing activity, that doesn't mean it can support the same resolution during graphics-intensive use. Try turning down the resolution and the quality in your game options and see if the problem goes away. I ran into this same issue when trying to power a 1920x1200 monitor with a GeForce FX 5200 Ultra and discovered the solution is either a lower resolution or more graphics power.

First make sure your video card driver is up to date, and the monitor driver as well when they are available. If the computer reboots when this happens, there is a hardware conflict potentially.
If the monitor goes black like it was shut off abruptly and computer did not shut down- replace all the electrolytic capacitors in the monitor on the power supply board. This should forestall an inevitable failure of the monitor.
my HP w1907 flat screen keeps shutting off after playing a game, but does it frequently when changing browsers also.The blue lite stays on, if I click and return it back on blue the monitor opens for one second. Also I can't return the screen resolution back to its original setting, which is 1440x900 because any browser home page has a 4"white space on both sides of the monitor. I can't hit my auto selectbutton because that causes the problem. I spent $60.00 for tech support but no help on fixing the problem. One tech directed to buy hardware helper,that was about$30.00! I just keeps directing me to my original chipset setting which I told the tech that's where my problem started! My daily important update keeps popping up with it,so where's the HP support when you paid for it? Problem still not resolved. Joe...aka [email protected],,I bought the HP monitor and tower together,so it's a HP PROBLEM
well according to this problem i will suggest to upgrade ur graphics driver. one more thing that u can do is to scan ur pc with antivirus.some times viruses do attact to ram and they trying to use the ram to make the system slow.so the memory dedicated to graphics is snatched and then u get problem to play the games.
reset you video settings. try to lower frequency settings or start setting to default VGA mode then try moving to 800x600 resolution then up.. 'hope this helps
You have an incompatability between the drivers and Windows. Uninstall the games. Is everything all right now? Upgade your video and sound drivers. You can download these from the manufacturers web site. Now reinstall the games.
hay if you fell it getting hot fast it's the heat transfer compound in the system which is wearing away causing it to over heat and shut down as a safety precaution. so there for it will keep freezing of shouting down.
The screen colour changing is apparently an auto test procedure on the monitor and was prompted by a fault with the monitor not automatically shutting down when the computer is shut down. The settings on the monitor have been adjusted to rectify this and the problem is now gone.
This sounds like your Video card might not be compatible with the game you are playing. You might need a better video card. Before you do anthing else, check to see if your computer is fast enough to play it.
Big games can crash slow computers, also it could just be a bad monitor.
Try checking the cord between the monitor and the computer.
