I seem to be having an issue with my gaming rig. When I'm playing games, my screen sometimes freezes, goes black for a few seconds and then comes back like nothing happened. It sounds like a video card issue, and I think it the GeForce 250 may be randomly overheating, so I bought a roomier case. Hopefully that will fix the problem. If not, then I guess I'll try the Radeon 5870 that's lying around.
