    Hi

    Hoping someone can help me out here.

    Just recently my monitor is losing signal when Im playing any game. Its fine when browsing etc, just when anything graphical is being used.

    Changed the HDMI cable, never had this problem before and the computer is only about 3 months old.

    My graphics card is AMD 7850. Im sure an update for this was installed the other day, could this be the problem?

    Not very good at this so hopefully its only something simple.

    Thanks guys/gals

    Try updating your graphics card drivers here and see if things improve

    Hi Galway,

    This didnt make any difference, I did a system restore and same problem.

    I downloaded some old drivers for the graphics card and I only got the chance to test for a half hour but I had no loss of signal.

    Hopefully this has solved the problem for now.
