I have a problem where i will be working away at my pc and for some reason the screen just goes black. The PC dosent reboot or crash and is still running but the only way to fix the screen is by hitting the re-set button. On rebooting no error meassage comes up, the problem is especially when i try and play a game, the pc will load the game and as soon as game is about to play, the screen will go black. I have run several different memory test and all show no problem. I have had a couple of error reports after crashes saying that i have bad memory sector and need to run the test, but its a no show. Does any one have any ideas, could it be a driver conflict, there is a D bracket with 4 diagnostic LEDs on the the pc but im not sure how that works. any help appreciated.Graphics are an onboard card, NVIDIA GeForce2 Integrated GPU. Do you think that would be the issiue and if so is there any way of testing it or plugging in a new card. The mother board is a K7N420 Pro, the whole package is approx 2 years old
 
If you have a separate AGP slot in the motherboard, the easiest way is to
disable the onboard graphics in the BIOS and purchase a separate AGP
graphics card... the GeForce series is now up to version 5.

It sounds to me like a bad connection... either at the cable which connects
to the port on the actual PC or to the monitor (but most of these are
permanently connected to the monitor and there is no way of disconnecting
the cable from the monitor)....
 
Does the screen came back pusing the on/off button on the "monitor"

Have you tried changing the graphics settings within the game?
