Hi, I've been having this problem for a little while now where after an hour or so of gaming, more specifically Dota 2 on full screen 1080p, my computer's fans will run high for a second, go back to normal and my screen will go black saying "No Signal". To get it back to normal I have to force shut down and restart my computer. More recently, It has been doing it more frequently and has become an issue. I have suspected it to be overheating but I've monitored the CPU temp which never goes above 40, and haven't gotten a temp on my video card but to the touch its always been cool never hot even right after a black screen. I have no idea what the problem could be.
My Specs:
Processor: Pentium(R) Dual Core CPU E5800
Video Card: AMD Radeon 7xxx series GHOST Edition
RAM: 4 GB
PSU: I have two separate PSUs; one for the card alone (which was added after I originally got the computer) and the separate one that came default with the computer which still powers all its original components. The one powering the video card is a Thermaltake, 850 watts.

what video card are you running. an 850w psu should be enough for your pc, there is no reason for a second psu. eliminate it. actually leave the thermaltake and remove the other one. sounds like a oem system. it probably overheats. either the cpu or gpu
thats what i meant, should have said remove the original one.

7xxx doesnt tell me much. what video card are you running?

Never intended to remove the original that's all. Planned on Stripping it all out and starting from scratch anyways. Getting new components and what not for christmas to build my own using the existing PSU and video card. Please note that I've had this setup for a while now and it ran fine first two or three months.. And only got black screens very scarcely afterwards. Just now started getting bad after a long weekend of not being here... If it will help the problem at hand then I'd have no problem with removing the original PSU and hooking everything up to the Thermaltake
