Default Display goes off whilst playing a game...! ati 9600 - 02-25-2006 , 01:30 AM






I have been having a strange problem ever since I replaced my old
geforce 5200 with the radeon 9600. When I am playing a game...and not
all games do it...sometimes the display turns black and the monitor's
LED turns amber. I cannot due anything and have to restart. I am not
assuming its a temp problem since CPU does not exceed 55 degrees
celcius even when heavily in use. Apart from that I have adequate
cooling directly on the video card and inside the case. In the event
viewer the only occurance at the same time of the fault is this
entry:

The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or
more time sources, however none of the sources are currently
accessible. No attempt to contact a source will be made for 14
minutes. NtpClient has no source of accurate time.

Also I have up yo date drivers, directX, virus free for sure and loads
of RAM..1.2GB DDR 400.


Can anyone give me some tips on how I could find out the source of
this saga??? any software in particular? please HELP ME! even a fresh
format and installation of XP was not enough to get rid of this.
