    Hello, I have a question: What is happening to my computer? When it is on, it is working, the monitor turns off frequently and the light in the monitor flashes. You need to reset the computer to work again. The computer works but the monitor turns off and nothing can be done. :cry:

    Check on a different monitor and replace the graphics card.

    Are you sure your computer is still working? For example, if Winamp was running, is the music still "playing"?

    when this failure occurs, the music stops playing, the keyboard does not respond to any pressure, the mouse stops being active and after about 30 seconds it restarts by itself, or I have to "help" him by restarting because I will not do anything, I hear that the computer is working , but the monitor actually only blinks. pliss help thanks :cry:

    So we figured out that the computer freezes and does not work ... open the case, dust the heat sink on the processor, check if the fans are working, look at the electrolytic capacitors on the board (if they are not "bloated") and measure the voltages on the 12V, 5V and 3.3 lines V of the power supply (meter).

    Check the temperatures while the computer is running, e.g. with the Everest program.

    crap I'm a bit of a layman, how to find these electrolytic capacitors, voltages on the lines from the power supply, I will find hope. I will do it tomorrow, thank you and I will contact you, hoping that you will save me a bit, thanks, best regards

    I checked the capacitors in perfect order, no leaks or swells, thanks for the cables. as I can see, it's never too late to learn

    Added after 15 [minutes]:

    I give the temperature in degrees Celsius:
    motherboard --- 35
    processor --- 33
    PWM --- 37
    Seagate ST 380011A --- 36

    Added after 8 [minutes]:

    CPU core voltage 1.55V
    + 3.3V 3.40V
    + 5V 5.14V
    + 5V during stoppage 5.29V
    3V Dual 3.37V

    and the temperatures measured with the meter ??

    The manufacturer of the power supply is very important. So do the following:
    1. Open the case and blow out any dust thoroughly.
    2. Look at the power supply and tell us whose product it is.
    3. Borrow from someone good power supply and check if your equipment will work stably on it.

    power supply name is ATX-350GTF (PF)
    I checked the computer on an independent power supply and also padl

    AND COULD THIS ACTION BE WRONG GRAPHIC CARD?

    I HAVE RADEON 9550 128 MB DDR and I admit that no game works on it, there are jumps, now I put G FORCE 64MB working fine so far?

    Of course, it is possible that it is the fault of the graphics card, but this is a very rare reason, i.e. the cards fail "by themselves" relatively rarely, usually their failure is the result of another failure (lack of grounding and connecting / disconnecting the monitor during operation, overheating, faulty power supply).

    The failure looks as follows: the mouse cursor is inactive, the program is also inactive and it lasts about 20 seconds. the computer is still working, but the monitor turns off and you need to restart the computer. When music is playing, the music plays for about 20 seconds. and turns off.
    A computer reset took place on an independent power supply as well.
    I currently put my graphics card into the second computer and test it. So far the monitor turned off by itself, then turned on by itself and the progray in which I work continue to work fine.
    What should I do then?

    Check if the memories are not damaged sometimes, I recommend the memtest program http://www.memtest.org/ you download the iso image that you burn to the disc and boot the computer directly from this disc.

    I put an old graphics card into the computer and it runs on the old 64MB, it's a bit loud, but I haven't restarted yet

    a) Check the card cooling.
    b) Disable the VPU Recover function in the card driver.

    I do not have a fan in my card, it is a RADEON 9550 128 MB card

    Thanks to everyone who helped me. I bought a different graphics card and it works without any comments. Thank you again, it's great that there are people who selflessly share their knowledge.
