I could still here the game going on but my screen was black as night. I hit the Reset to restart my PC but still a black screen. Then I held the power button down so it would shut off completely. Came back in 45 minutes or so and everything is looking normal. Any ideas? Video card over heating?? Video card getting ready to die? BTW...... Nvidia 295. Or just some damn fluke?

I do not relish taking anything apart since I have never done anything to my PC myself. But I suppose there is a first time for everything.

Graphics card going bad... Power supply going bad.... CPU fan going out.... Motherboard taking a shit!!! I would definitly take chile advice... Start backing up all the stuff you dont want to lose onto a external hard drive... Better to be lucky than to be shit out of luck!!! Definitly open up your tower, and blow everything out real good. Maybe take your fans out and clean them... Check to make sure everything is plugged into place real tight... Good luck bro!!!
