PC freezes, then screen goes black.
Hi there, I'm new here (as you may have guessed). I have a really weird problem, or at least something I have not come to experience as of yet.

I usually put my computer in standby mode, but I give it a break once every two days or so, and so I did. A few hours later I turned the computer on again, and everything was business as usual. I was browsing the netz when suddenly the screen freezes, then ten seconds later my monitor says 'No Signal' and gets all black and stuff.

When I restarted there were some weird black lines on the Asus screen and other things, and black AND yellow lines on the XP boot screen.

Just when the logon should have showed up my screen goes black. =P

And the same thing happens every time until I booted into Safe Mode, in which I am posting now.

Is this problem graphics card related, monitor related or is there something wrong with my OS? Can I solve the problem, or do I have to buy a new graphics card/monitor? Thanks in advance guys,

-CakeDoer
