Entering Power Save Mode while Gaming..argg!

Hello,

My issue is basically when i load up certain games, like Age of Conan or Assassins Creed, about 80% of the time my computer will "Enter Power Save Mode", meaning my monitor turns black and the only way to access my computer again is to restart by holding the power button.

I have the latest version of DirectX10

My System Spec:
Dell XPS 710
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86ghz
Ram: 4gb DDR2
System type: 32-bit
O/S: Vista Service Pack 1
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
BIOS: Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 1.4.0

Age of Conan Minimum System Requirements:
Required
OS: Windows Vista/XP
Processor: 3GHz Pentium IV
RAM: 1GB RAM
Video Card: Shader Model 2.0 and 128MB RAM: NVIDIA GeForce 5800 or ATI 9800

Recommended
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz (E6600) or better
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 or better
RAM: 2GB or more

I posted the Age of Conan system requirements because i am not sure if my processor is as strong as a 3GHz Pentium IV.


Anywho, that is the issue, and if there is any more information you need to help solve this problem iId be glad to give it to you.

Thanks in advance,
Cdx
