Game blacks out

[Gooberman]

Every time i play a game randomly my monitor blacks out but the game is still running idk why it's doing this every time it does it the GPU is at different temperatures so i don't know what gives way to get it back is ctrl alt delete and then exiting that it goes right back to the game some times it does it alot like every 20-40 seconds or it does it once every once in awhile and one day it didn't do it at all :/ starting to get mad now

seems to happen when GPU reaches 100% usage :/

The 8500gt is a bottom entry dx10 media card you will have problems trying to play games with it, which games are you trying to play and which psu are you using
Try reinstalling the latest drivers for your gpu, and lowering the game specs to see if this helps

i've done all that i've been using it for the past 2 years and it just started going it last week PSU is a piece of crap but it's still running for 3 years lol

still keeps blacking out randomly and i don't know why(GPU usage dropping to 0% is when it blacks out did it 3 times in around a minute)
I've tried it under clocked and overclocked and stock still has the exact same problem i'm starting to wonder if it's the PSU :/
(Yes i know it's a hot card it's been like that since i got it)

Well i'm able to connect to my computer with remote desktop connection and i can do stuff except watch videos and what not. Still the screen for the computer is blank i'm starting to get mad >;[ when it does it i can't get it back only with luck by leaving it off for hours at a time :/ not just games anymore does it while watching videos too >.>

core clock is very high, shader clock is very high, temps are very high, my best guess is that the card is dying/dead.

im all for getting everything from a piece of hardware but its being overdone here. back it down to 650mhz on the clocks, try to get that temp down into the 70's, and give an update later.
