Computer Screen Tripping

[RCblackhawk66]

Has anyone had this problem? When I'm playing a PC game after about an hour or so my screen will turn different colors all crazy like, then about 2 minutes later it will lock up and I have to manually reboot the system. Can anyone give me a solution???

Thanks
Rob

Graphics card is overheating while you're playing the game.  Monitor temps while you're playing.

Ok, I just bought this graphics card because the one I had before was doing the same thing. Now what?

Something else is overheating.

Well still having the same problem, I'm playing AOE3 online and it starts doing the same stuff. When it does it the next time I will take a picture of it and post it.

Your temps are good, and you've just bought a new graphics card so try a different monitor. I have a monitor that does this when switching resolutions.
