Monitor Power down

[CaptnJack]

My computer is about 1.5 years old, it is a DELL XPS410. I have a upgrade video card Radeon Geforce9400 GT.
The other evening it crashed while I was playing a game and since them has been shutting off -going to power save mode about every 20-30 minutes.
I have checked all the power options and they are set to 'never', and not hibernate. I cleaned out the computer from dust and such. I removed and reset the video cards. The monitor works fine for the time it doesnt shut down. Which is why I can contact you. but eventually the screen goes blank, the monitor light goes orange, if I press the menu button on monitor it says its in power save mode, but nothing, except powering the computer down fixes it. Oh, I also uninstalled and re-installed the video drivers, and that didnt help. Please help!

Your power supply might not be strong enough for the video card, main board and hard drives. Check with Mr. PC's staff to determine whether the power supply is proprietary or if it is standard. This is most likely the cause of your monitor power down problem.
