It's the graphics card crashing. Everything will work fine, but the card. You'll notice after the screen goes dark that the fan cuts out on the card (If I'm right, that is).

Cool because I'm about to buy a new graphics card then. Do you know a good ones that can play BF3, or any good graphic games well?..I have a 750Watt power supply, and TWO 2.0 PCI Express x16 slot. Price limit under $100-$150
