when i try playing some games my screen blacks out and then refreshes several times in a short period of time, I eventually just quit playing that game and try something different, why? I love playing those hidden object games from BigFish games.

This could be a case of the monitor not natively supporting the resolution at which you are playing that particular game.. The video card is able to render it but may be the monitor is having a hard time displaying it and thus, the flickers and all that.. If possible, try running the game at a resolution which gets natively supported by the monitor..
