specs: amd athlon xp 2200+ @1.8ghz, 512mb ram, audigy 2 zs, VT8366-8233 mainboard, xp home w/ SP2
problem: in most games (doom3, brothers in arms, guild wars [**the game i'm trying to get to work]) i'll be playing, everything running smoothly, and the entire game will freeze, but the sound will continue working, and in guild wars i can still move the mouse. away from games, even when i'll be doing something @ the desktop, the monitor will turn off, as if it were in sleep mode, and the power led button on the monitor will flash. if i had had a song playing in winamp, the song can usually still be heard. to get the computer to return to normal, i have to switch off from PSU switch on back. sometimes computer will immediately return to normal state, othertimes i'll have to wait a good while.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
