ok, well my new computer has been here for about a week. but for the first 4 days or so i let it sit there and didn't do anything with it except install windows and stuff. it was on the entire time, just nothing was running. so today i put all my files and stuff on it, so i can actually use it now. so, i took unreal tournament from my old computer, put it on here, and just ran it to see if worked. about a minute in the moniter goes black, and says no signal. the sound keeps skipping right where it left off....so total blackness, there's no mouse or anything...it's all locked up, so i just hit the restart button. nothing happened between then(4+ hours ago) and like an hour ago, when i tried to watch a video file. every goddamn time i start watching something, within 30 seconds the same thing happens. moniter says no signal, sound skips, computer is still on, but i can't do anything. but i can surf/talk on aim/etc forever without anything happening. any ideas?
I first thought it might be overheating, but I have 5 fans, and I also took the case off for an hour, let it cool, and then started it up with a fan on it, but the same thing happened.
So I'm thinking maybe a bad driver problem, or IRQ?
anyone?
