black screen of death :P

any one who can help me with this?
i play cf for about half an hour or so and it runs fine. then my screen goes black. but im still connected to the game i can still shoot and move just my screen is black. and i have to relog. anyone know the problem?

recently i replaced my integrated graphics with a radeon 9200 pro. and replaced my pc 2700 512 mb ram with pc3200 1gb ram.

yes yes im aware its terrible specs.
running on windows xp service pack 3.

i used to think its a heat problem because the card was so hot it burned my hand. but i put a 300 mm ish fan next to it and it crashes even when its cool.

I don't know much. Just an idea. Maybe you don't have enough power to supply power to everything so your mobo makes the decision to cut off the gpu. It is a big power user but doesn't cause the user to lose any data.

I haven't gotten it personally, but I've had a couple clan mates get it. Specifically when the bomb was planted o-o...

I sort of get that

when I load CF, my screen changes multiple colors, then I have to turn off my computer.

i dunno about that. ofc my power source is only 120 watts. but from what i saw before on rigs that dont have enough pawer. its not the same thing. my friend sli'd 2 cards and his whole pc turned off. thats not the same thing for me. i hear my self moving and shooting, i just cant see.

i used to get black screens when i dual boxed lineage 2 when i used to play that, i just went to ATI and got the latest driver for my gfx card, and the black screens stop.

just goto ur gfx card makers website, and find latest version for ur gfx card
