"Not Optimum Mode:1280x1024 60hz" Help?

[CynicalPatient]

Can anyone help me please? Whenever I play a game like Guild Wars, WoW, or Warcraft 3, my screen goes blank sometimes, and sometimes I get the message: Not Optimum Mode: 1280x1024 60hz. I set the mode to that, from Properties, and set the Hertz to 60 as well. Yet I am still getting this error. It happens sometimes. I have an X800 XT video card, and a Samsung 710v monitor. If you need to know anything else, please say so.

Also, I don't think the video card is defective, because a cousin of mine has an X800 Pro, and he sometimes gets this too. Thank you.

Do you get the same message in 1024x768?
