PC Lockup - B;ank Screen, video related?

Hi Guys,

As I explained in a previous post, I bought a new second hand setup, I freshly installed XP Pro SP3, All hardware & chipset drivers for my ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mainboard, Radeon X1950Pro videocard, etc

But sometimes the comp locks up, especially when gaming, I just booted up rainbox 6 vegas, and at the menu the screen locked up, waited a bit, then went black, I had to hit the reset button to get it working again.

Would this mean their is something seriously wrong with the videocard? I don't have another display adaptor to test, so I am a bit unsure of what to do.

Sincerely,

David

 

Hey Exo,if you follow my advice in this post you can begin to eliminate components-

While your on the menu screen of a game the video isn't being stressed at all so its unlikely the video card but not out of the realm of possibility.
