I was playing Everquest 2 this evening and my monitor just seemed to turn off. I unplugged the monitor from my gaming PC to my normal PC. It worked just fine. I power cycled my gaming PC and it came up fine with a picture and everything. I launched everquest again to play and after about 45 minutes it goes off again for 4 seconds and then the screen turns orange. I turned on my speakers this point and the sound was skipping so I can tell it was a system hang.
The machine is brand new, although I'm thinking something is maybe up with the gfx card now...This first happened tonight, been able to play eq2 for hours on end prior to tonight.
Specs:
Shuttle SN25P SFF PC
AMD 3700+ San Diego
2 gigs Corsair ValueSELECT
Sapphire Radeon x800xl
2 SATA western digital 80 gig caviars in RAID0
POS Sony Floppy
Samsung DLDVD+/-RW

Any ideas? I was thinking MAYBE overheating, but that causes a reboot. I checked eventvwr and nothing came up at all except the normal "Service has started" events, and things of that nature.
 
yea i would say check ur temperatures...try installin everest home edition and seein what ur temperatures are runnin at
 
Hmmm...This can't be right...Air is only a touch above ambient coming out of the back of her.

I was gonna say, no way. I rebooted and checked the bios. I'm running at 46case/48proc. I'm fine.
 
Bueller? :confused:
It happened again last night while I left it on to download HL2/CSS. I woke up this morning to check it and there was a DOS screen like it had rebooted itself and failed to read the bootsector.
I recently reloaded my computer because it stopped booting. I think maybe I should kill the idea of RAID on my drives :eek:
