Another PC... and older one put together with new parts!
AMD Athlon 1.1GHz
Foxconn motherboard
socket A
radeon 9500 pro
WinXP Pro w/SP2
We just got this together, and at first when the computer was on for so long, the monitor shut off, but sounds still worked and you could do things with the computer--just no monitor. Reseating was the only fix. Then after resetting the card, installing the original drivers, and rebooting it fixed it partially. Now it freezes the screen, but the sounds continue to play in the background like normal.
This occurs after a given amount of time, usually 10-15 minutes... whether playing a game (WC3) or just idling at the desktop.
Any ideas what could cause this?
thanks again all!
