MSI HD 7850 Twin Frozr III random game crashes need help.

[Bobybobp]

Hello, i have had my PC for about 9 months now and i have has this problem for quite a long time and i am getting fed up of it now. When playing a game i get these random crashes on my pc where the screen goes to a 'no signal screen', but the pc will continue running as if nothing has happened. This crash could happen 30 seconds into running a game or it could happen 2 hours into a game.

i have no idea what is going on and im not even sure if its the graphics card but that seemed the most likely case to me. Here is my specs if it helps:

Well a good start is to try with just the onboard graphics and see how far that gets you. You can rule out the graphics card then.

How do i do that

Just remove the graphics card and plug your monitor into the motherboard instead. Should switch over to onboard.

Obviously turn the PC off before removing it.
