DSUB is the connection type; 15-pin VGA D-connector, as opposed to a DVI connector.
Its obviously losing signal, so try checking cable connections, maybe change the cable. Are you using a DVI>DSUB convertor?
Also make sure you have the correct resolution for the games you are trying to play.

hi! what is DVI connector and DVI>DSUB convertor..about the resulotion..when i check on it , it said 800 to 600 pixels its the highest and i cant adjust it anymore..i also check the cable i unplugged and plugged it again pls help me with this.. tnx for advance..

800x600 is not the native resolution of your monitor if its lcd and seemingly widescreen from the very little info i can find about the 716sw.
Therefore i suspect dodgy graphics card drivers. What graphics card do you have? Go and look online for a later set of drivers for it and see if that helps.

:suspiciou

Honestly mate, and with respect, if you really do not know then i think it would be better if you took your pc to a shop, otherwise you could break it if you try playing around with it yourself.

For now though, try this;

Right click on your desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced
This should tell you what graphics card you are using
or
Start > Run > "dxdiag"
This will run DirectX Diagnostics on your pc, it will also tell you what graphics card you are using.
It will either be NVIDIA or ATI/AMD.

Try that first.

Sounds like your 3DFX card is faulty. Also the native resolution of your LCD monitor will probably be 1024x768. Now, this shouldn't be a problem in itself, but if your 3DFX is faulty, then it won't help. You are running a very old pc. You need to have someone actually look at it AND inside it to determine what slot (AGP or PCI) your 3DFX card is in.
