    whenever i play the sims 2 within 20-40 minutes of game play the monitor goes black and reads 'no signal input, monitor going to sleep' then there is only blackness . i can only return using the windows button and closing the game through task manager. also there are odd lines of emptyness through sim characters that come and go. i have played many other games on this computer (nba 08, fifa...) and it only happens in this game. after reading about it i understood it was the video card.

    Diagnostic:

    name:RADEON 9200 PRO FAMILY (Microsoft Corporation)
    manufacturer: ATI Technologies inc.
    chip type: RADEON 9200 PRO AGP (0x5960)
    DAC type: internal DAC (500MHz)
    memory: 128 MB
    display mode: 1440x900 (32bit) (60Hz)
    monitor: plug and play monitor

    directdraw acceleration: enabled
    direct 3d acceleration: enabled
    agp texture acceleration: not available

    my driver version is: 6.14.0010.6462 (english)
    date: 04/08/2004

    i searched for driver updates but im not sure if there are any or even if the ones i found are the right ones. im not really good with computers so any help would really be appreciated. thanks
