Ok, so heres the thing, My Brother is a casual gamer, and he plays on my old Packard Bell PC. I am not sure of the exact Spec, but I believe it has a 230Watt PSU an Nvidia 9600 GSO and an Intel Q6600, the motherboard is not the stock motherboard as the stock one broke some time ago (however the problem occured both with and without the new mobo)
Anyway point is, we were playing World of Warcraft trying to do one of the new dungeons, (the first three of them were fine) but when doing Mogu-Shan Palace, in the area before the second boss the screen will display "No signal input" all of a sudden. My brother has noticed that this occurs in other areas of World of Warcraft, such as in the Caverns of time, and in Shadowmoon Valley. It also occurs in other games such as Assassins Creed, the Monitor just suddenly, and with no temperature to suggest it is coming (CPU on 45 degrees and GPU on 66) comes up with "no signal input" and requires a reboot to fix.
I would stress this is no coincidence, we have ran to these areas and reproduced the issue
I am really not sure what the cause of this is, Faulty PSU? GPU that bails when faced with certain types of textures? Unfortunately I do not have compatible hardware to test, or I would figure out what component was faulty by trial and error. Thank you for any help, would just like to hear a few suggestions from OCUK. Sorry for the Text Wall!
