Hello, as you might've guessed I have a slight problem with my new computer with the following components:
Radeon HD 5770
P5Q Deluxe motherbaord
4gb RAM (2x 2gb kingston)
caviar blue 160 GB
630W powersupply
Windows 7 Home premium as OS
Samsung Syncmaster T200 (not new)

It works perfectly exept for the fact that I cannot play games on it! 5 minutes or less after I start the game the screen goes black and reappears with a box in the middle saying: "Not optimum mode, Recomended mode: 1650x1050 60Hz". The thing is that I already have what it asks from me. This only occurs when I play games. If I change the resolution back and forth the little white box dissapears for a little while before returning again. I can still play with that box in the middle but if left unchecked my computer will lock itself and I have to reboot.
And yes I have all the drivers up to date.
Is this something I can solve myself or do I have to turn it in to proffesionals? Thanks
