monitor says no imput on 3d apps
my brothers computer started playing up recently, whenever a 3d app is started the monitor reverts to its power off state, saying there is no imput, its fine for browsing and that and only occurs when a 3d game/app is started. got the lastest drivers, checked to see if it was the psu, by using minimal power settings and using a monitor that runs off a seperate power supply and was neither of them, disabled onboard gfx and reinstalled all the graphics card drivers, still no luck, wondering if anyone has come across this problem before.
the system is:
amd 64 3800
k8m8ms mobo
radeon x1600 256 agp gfx card
when the graphics card is taken out and the onboard graphics are used it works fine and doesnt crash, so im assuming it must be the graphics card, however it worked fine for over a year until recently so am confused as to what it is, help is much appreciated.
