While playing Dirt 3, Call of duty 4, Mw2, after about 15 to one hour of playing, my monitor turns off, its power light starts blinking, i still hear sounds from the game for about 5 seconds, then it freezes, kind of like a scratched cd.

However, this doesn't happen with Battlefield Bad company 2.

I searched a lot online, and there are millions of different answers, and it's very confusing. Some people say it's RAM related, other say its PSU related, other say it's Graphics related, other say its Heating related, etc.

If i need to specify anything else of my computer, i will. I do not have any viruses, i am 99% sure it's hardware related. Thanks
