Hi Angelboi...
Might be heat...might be drivers...might be malware...
A little more information would be helpful.

Well Ad-aware recently deleted a Mal-ware, and we are getting Norton this weekend. I don't think its overheating as there were no recent hardware changes. I checked all the fans and plugs, everything seems to run just fine. I also ran a system error check and no problems that I can see.
Only recently (With no pc changes) did the screen mysteriously start losing signals. Usually, the computer is fine for 10-20 minutes before the monitor dies, and the pc either restarts automatically, or I end up doing it since the monitor doesn't come back.

Are you using on-board video or a separate video card?
This looks like either bad or corrupt drivers, or maybe a hot video card.

No the video card is not onboard. ATI Radeon 9800.

Nevermind Problem fixed.
I removed the video card for about 10 minutes and placed it back in. No more sudden errors. Will repost if error occurs again in a few days.
edit: Happened again

Do you have the latest drivers for ATI, have you got .net framework installed
Does it run hot at all

I don't think its the video card issue. No its not hot.

Worth getting the latest drivers just to rule them out, ATI cards require .net framework

Apparently the pc fixed itself... no further problems at the moment.

Unresolved. It appears to only lose signal when playing games. (Basically things involving graphic change)
Lost signal after 30 minutes of play with Counterstrike.
I already tried to download a driver from ATI.com but i don't think it work.
If possible could you link me to a proper driver? the model is ATI Radeon 9800

Usually the links to ATI do not work but revert to the main page
Notes:
ATI recommends Windows XP Service Pack 2 or higher to be installed.
You must have Microsoft .NET Framework installed prior to downloading and installing the Catalyst Control Center
If you already have .net framework, .net service pack 1 and the .net hotfix installed you can get the driver here

If not, go to ATI then click drivers and software, choose XP, Radeon
