hey, i bought counter strike a couple of weeks ago. and whenever i try to play it, the screen goes blank a couple of seconds after entering a server, the moniter displays that it isnt receiving a singal from the video card. it also goes blank after a few mintues of use in general. So i turned off direct x and counter strike happened to work fine but if i leave the computer idle for a couple of hours, most of the time, the video card stops sending a signal. I have an ati radeon 9550, direct x9.0c, 1050 of ram and an amd athlon xp processor, its around 2.1 ghz. i also reinstalled the video card drivers.
thank you to anyone that can help

Try updating the ATI drivers. Make sure Windows is fully updated (Service Pack 3) and download the .Net framework files before you install ATI's Catalyst Control Center filles
