I have tried asking about this problem many times on this forum but i don't know the exact cause so don't always know what category to put it in. Anyway this problem has only recently been bothering me again and i get very confused as to what is causing it.
The problem: what happens is i'm just in a skype call, browsing the internet or playing games then suddenly my screen will go black and a few seconds later the monitor "sleep mode" comes up yet my computer is still running and i have to force shut it down. Often when this happens i will turn it back on and it will run for a random amount of time before it does it again. i have a suspicion that it's my windows as i have had many problems with my windows in the past and am going to re-install it this weekend. my other suspicion in the ram because a quick fix to almost any problems i get with my pc is fixed by changing the two ram sticks to the other two dimms.
If anyone could help or give suggestions i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, Jake
