    I just downloaded Maple Story www.mapleglobal.com and i am able to open it and login and run it for about 5 minutes, but then my monitor will just 'lose its signal' and the little light will glow amber like it does in sleep mode. i've checked all the cables and they're all attatched, so i'm pretty sure its more of an internal thing.
    I've checked a few of the threads about monitors losing signals but they make no sense to me.
    The monitor will ONLY switch off when i've got MS open, not at any other time, so is something there interfering with the system?
    I have downloaded the program that gives me my 'system specs' but i don't know exactly what i should post here. do i give it as a .txt file?

    Thanks for taking the time to read, and im sorry that i only ever post to get technical help :eek:

    hey, thanks for the reply and the suggestion, i changed it, even though the setting was to turn off after 20 minutes.... when i'm playing maple story i only have it open for about 5 minutes before it shuts down so i don't think its that.
    i tried MS again, and it had the same result. i think it might be something to do with my video card.
