    Just got my gaming computer fixed and I have some issues. When I play any game that's downloaded or bought, I start it up and after 5 minutes the screen goes blank and the green light blinks. I've tryed numerous drivers, new and old.

    My GPU is the 6600GT.

    Thanks :)

    Sounds to me like the video card is overheating, make sure the fan on the card is working if not replace it, if the fan is working get a PCI slot fan and place it next to the video card to pull heat off it. If this does not fix the issue then the GPU core is most likely fried from heat and the card will have to be replacedÂ…..

    Who is the card made by? BFG? I have hade fan failure on 3 BFG cards in the past, all resulted in the same issues you are having and 1 resulted in the card needing to be replaced.

    Hope that helps
