Halo 2 on Vista crashes - Help

Dear paul,
I have got problems with Halo 2 on Vista. As the game starts within 5 mins
my monitor goes blank and the LED of my monitor keeps blinking...But my CPU
is still on and running(i dont think my CPU got hanged or Crashed). I then
need to restart my Pc. The same problem repeats when the game starts
again!..Any Help here Paul????

i recently added a new Nvidia Geforce 8600GTS grapic card.....(U think this
doesnt support the game)
my pc config is Dual Core 3.0ghz/Intel 945GNTL motherboard/2gb Ram/320Gb
Hard Disk/and the new Graphic Card i added.
pls help me out paul....

with best regards,
Sid.

I had problem until I installed a beta WHQL video driver - try
searching for "Nvidia 160.04 32bit" or Nvidia 160.04 64bit" whichever
applies to you. I downloaded it from www.guru3d.com. Good luck.

re:Sid
i had a problem that sounded exactly the same as what explained.
check to see if your vedio card needs power from the computer power
supplie. check out the connections on your video card.
