About a week ago i got a new asus radeon 9600 xt vid card. I was playing return to castle wolfenstein on the comp today and twice it has happened where the comptuer would lock up and the monitor would lose a signal from the computer and just say "frequency out of range." I checked to make sure the refresh rate is fine for the monitor with the resolution I am using and it was. 85 refresh rate at 1024x768. I am using the latest ati drivers as well as the latest dell drivers for my monitor. What could be casuing these seemingly random errors?
