OK I have been trying to play World of Warcraft and been running into a problem. At different times in the game my screen will go black and I will have to restart my system or some time my system will automatically restart. I am running AMD duron, mmx, 3D now 1.1 GH and 768 ram with a radeon 9200 graphic card with 128MB on it. I also have the latest version of DirectX 9.0C. My monter is a flat screen. Any help would be great I have played with different refresh rates and it dose not seem to make a difference. Could it be a driver problem?

Also download the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard. Are you running VIA?

When was the last time you opened up your tower and blew out the dust?

VIA is the maker of your chipset on your motherboard. Download the drivers from the link below. When there, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the link that says 4 in 1 drivers (in bold letteres).

Well Custom I did every thing that you had suggested and I still have probelms. Where would I start if it is a hardware problem which I don't think it is since it is not a constant problem. Any more Ideas will be great.

If it were hardware i would start with the power supply.

Also use windows update and see if there are monitor drivers in the driver section.
