I recently got a new computer, custom built, and for some reason when I am playing games or watching/playing flash or movies, I will get a No Signal message displayed on my screen and I will have to manually restart, or I will get the blue screen, and I get a window saying my graphics accelerator has shutdown, and that I should restart. Can anyone help me out with this? It has been happening more frequently lately and I dont know why.

What have you tried so far to resolve this?
It could be anything, at this point-- a bad video card, or it could even be a bad processor, power supply, or motherboard.
