my monitor just goes black after a lil while of the computer being on. I tried another monitor but it still didnt work. Is this what happenes when a video card dies.

I have a geforce 6800

Does it come back on when you wiggle the mouse or press a key? If so, your monitor is just going into power save mode.

Hit the start menu, control panel, and then power options. Turn your monitor to 'never turn off'.
