Hello
Ive played some games before like combat arms, Soldier front, Gta sanandreas (still play). But recently ive downloaded a game called crossfire and when im playing suddenly my computer freeses (the images stops) and the monitor turns black and stays on stand-by.
My monitor is a hp pavilion f1523 and I play crossfire on a 1024 X 768 pixels.

It's not a monitor problem, it's a graphics problem.

Since Crossfire is online only, is your internet connection good enough?
