I gues that excludes it being my computer since my computer is staying on. But im not sure what it is. The card is getting pretty hot even with a fan attached to it, Mind you this is a small standard attachable fan. Right now im trying to use the dvi slot to see if that fixes anything. Do you guys think it could just be my G-Card heating up?
 
Possible. My graphics card would sometimes get too hot and just shut off to prevent a meltdown. You might want to check your temps and look into better cooling for your computer.

Also, you might want to check and see if your drivers are up to date. Just in case. (It's a good blanket solution to almost everything ;))

Thanks for the advice ill check for the updates and i think that its just simply getting too hot because i let it cool down and it lasted longer before the screen actually shut off. and i have recently updated my drivers but ill check again.
 
I don't understand why all the sudden my moniter keeps shutting off its over heater but it never did this before i dont get it.
 
Have you thought of updating the latest Drivers? Maybe running your GFX card at a lower setting or temperature?
 
I fixed the problem i guess my ATI Control panel was not working with the update i did so i unistalled all my ATI Drivers and reinstalled to where my ATI controle panel was working and so far so good its been a couple hours of playing and no black screen

Glad to hear.
 
I had a problem like this a while back, due to me installing ATi drivers not Sapphire drivers, if anyone has any problems with sapphire cards, they use different drivers to normal graphics cards.
