i've recently put together a new pc for my family and everything went well with the install. however as the title says, whenever we get into online gaming, say counterstrike, a few minutes into it, the monitor will switch to powersave mode and i'll be forced to restart the computer before it will kick in again.
i've tried a few things to remedy the problem but nothing has worked. my first thought was that my monitor didn't register that it was being used while gaming so that it would go into screensave mode, so i went into the power properties in the control panel, but its set to never powerdown the monitor.
i'm using the latest catalyst drivers and can't figure out what's wrong.
my system is:
amd 64 bit 3000+ socket 939
soltek sl-k8tpro - 939 mb
1 gig of pc3200 ddr, in dual channel ram
ati 9800 pro
400 watt name brand psu
any thoughts?
thanks,
rk
