I have a problem with my 128MB Radeon 9250. Everytime I load up any type of game (Ones I tested: Oldblivion, WarRock) I get a bit into it and the card just shuts down. Atleast thats my theory. See, what happens is my monitor goes all black and acts like its shutting off, but I tried everything I could with the monitor, but when I alt+tab, It turns back on and Im at the desktop.
I've been feeling the videocard for heat, and without a fan it does get really really hot.
I never had this problem on my old motherboard though, could it be the AGP slot? The drivers? Or should I just go out and buy a new card? (I've been meaning to anyway.)

Thanks in advance for the help.
