Default Monitor turning off with light blinking

When I run the Windows Experience Index, everything is fine until it runs the
Windows Media Playback Assessment. A few seconds after my monitor goes blank
and the light on it starts blinking. It doesn't display anything and nothing
is responding. I have to restart the computer. Please help as this problem is
driving me crazy as it does the same thing with the Orange Box games. I have
an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics card with 3GB of RAM. I have the latest
updates for Vista and my graphics card.

I have the same problem. I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 +5000 and 2GB of RAM. I
have the same graphics card. I would really like to have a solution to this
problem.

I think I've found the problem. It may be that you (and I) do not have a
sufficient power supply. The recommended power supply for the HD 2600 XT is a
400 watt, 550 watt for CrossFire. Perhaps the RAM is not receiving sufficient
electricity.

The latest driver update fixed the issue with the Windows Experience Index
but it didn't fix the problem with the Orange box. Try the new drivers that
came out on the 5th. It should be version 8.3
