Hey.
Im not sure if this is in the right area. Im sorry if its not
I have been having problems while running games lately.(particularly City of Villains and City of Heroes) I think it is eather the Graphic card driver or power supply. Up intell afew weeks ago, I was using the driver that came with the graphic card, but when i played the City of Villains stress test, it said i needed to upgrade my driver to 5.10. After that everything was working fine, untell a week ago. It started with me turning off my monitor and leaving for about an hour. When i came back and turned on my monitor there was no signal. After that, everything started looking like less bit colours. Then, afew days ago, when i was playing a game, my computer just turned right off. Now I can't go more than 30 minutes playing a game without it crashing. Im thinking that it is somthing with my graphic card, but one of my friends said it could also be my power supply.
My specs
Motherboard: ASUS k8v-x
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Ram: 512mb ddr
Video card: Radeon 9550 256mb 128bit APG 8x
Power supply: 420Watts ATX
If anyone has any idea what is wrong, or has any idea how to fix this please help me.
