I have problem with my card ATI HP have been useless in trying to help me.
The problem is My games I play all crash after 2-5 minutes of play . the
monitor goes black and quickly says no signal but the sound keeps playing
sometimes looping some times it continues but then the computer reboots and
says it has recovered from a serious era and says ATI driver problem but
there is no solution.

Now this has just started happening in the past 3 days all of the games ran
just fine with no problem . I have not installed any new hardware no new
software. my drivers are current. this only happens with the games... I have
run every vid test and they show no problems.

Can this be a bad card? it is less then one year?!

Thanks in Advance!

Bill

Sounds like it could be an overheating problem. Games tend to put a greater load on the system, so it gets hotter.
Check that all your fans are spinning freely (especially the graphics card fan - if there is one), and that all your ventilation
slots are clear.
