Answer 1

This could be a monitor or a graphics card problem. Does it switch off when you are not playing games? If it only switches off during graphic-intense programs then it is likely your graphics card. Try attaching your monitor wire to your in-built graphics card port and play the game at low settings. If it doesn't switch off then it is most likely your graphics card.

And anyway run disk cleanup and defrag every other month or so. Erase browsing cache etc.... to free up your hard disk. Incidentally, where is the game installed? If your OS is on the C drive, then please do not install any other software on C but put it on D, E etc.. as that will be faster for the computer in general during boot up.

Answer 2

It might have the problem with your video card. Check it out. Check also for some loss contact inside your computer.

Answer 3

When was the last time you defragged your computer? Try that, and then try using a different monitor to see if it is infact the monitor.

Answer 4

:] Simple fix.

Try not to touch your screen, or even move it. My computer does this sometimes, too. It's because the wires to your monitor aren't completely in; or they come loose. Look at the back of your monitor (computer screen), and push ever wire connecting to it in, do this once a day, and it hardly ever happens.
