AvP-monitors enter energy save mode

[benji182]

Hi there, i've been a HUGE AvP fan since the first one and yesterday after my pre-order came through the post i installed it but after starting any of the game modes my monitors both go into 'energy save mode' after about 45seconds-2minutes


i've tried dropping the resolution and detail levels but still the system hangs and goes into standby mode or something like it

i can hear what is going on but my PC becomes unresponsive and requires a reboot via the reset button on case.

anyone got any ideas?


thanks





PC specs are:

Windows XP
E6420 @2.2Ghz
2Gb RAM
ATi 3850 1Gb @ Cat 10.2
2x Dell 24" 2407s
850W PSU
latest SFX drivers also.

after running GPU-Z and running AvP it appears that my monitors go into energy save mode once the game crept up to 94'C

would this indicate that my graphics card is at fault rather than drivers or other hardware?
