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 would really like to have a solution to this problem. |

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 "William" wrote: "William" wrote: "zero0ptix" wrote: When I run the Windows Experience Index, everything is fine until it runs the Windows Media Playback Assessment.
