monitor fails on discaccess or other actions

#1

I am experiencing a very strange problem with this pc, it s a IBM pentium 3
with integrated video card, Netvista, XP HOME sp1 installed.

When runing some applications that use a lot of harddisk access the video
output is gone for some seconds BLACK Screen! It happens with all different
monitors that I tried flatscreen and CRT monitors. I already before changed
some capacitors on the motherboard that were leaky and now the problem is
back again. After renewing the caps on the board it has still this problem.

ANyone familiar with this strange problem ?

Thanks for answers

Sounds like the graphic card can't cope or a lack of memory

So did changing the 'caps' cure the problem, ... if so, did you use
105 degC low ESR types..?
