My laptop started having a problem today as following:
I'm able to boot windows, log on and all the system/porgrams start normally. works in idle mode. After a while, if i start either playing games/surfing/watching a movie the screen black's out. The system seems to still be running in the background with sound etc still going.
It seens as if it can keep on running forever if i dont touch it... Apparently also works with stuff like music only(wamp)
It seems to me that something about my grapics card fried? i had the computer running 10+ yesterday but its notlike i havent had my computer running for several days.. =/
Hardware Specifics:
Acer Aspire 1690 (bought summer 2005)
1.8ghz - ati mobility radeon x700 - 1gb ram - ...
Any way to narrow down the cause of problem or any way to solve would be welcome
greetz & thx in advance

edit:
It seems to work fine if i have the laptop running onbattery. even movies and progs worked. but just a few seconds after i plugged inpower it blacked out again...
