So, this has happened twice now in span of twenty minutes...

But when I am on GMod (HL2RP) and Teamspeak, I am able to spend about ten minutes on it, until my screen goes black- and the bottom light on my monitor begins to flash..


I move my mouse around it's does nothing, still black, the sound stops and everything.

I turn it off and then back on again and it comes on- before it repeats it self by going black again..

Any idea what the hell is going on?

It'd be best to wait for people who are more into PC's to try and troubleshoot with you here. Try searching up the specific problems on google to find out what the exact problem is.

Better to do that than spend money on getting it checked.

I had a similar problem, I sincerely thought for the worst (as in having to change PSU, GPU or even monitor) but then it was just a faulty DVI-D port; switched it with an old VGA cable I had around the house and it worked :ok::ok::ok:
