Monitor freezes/blue screen

Hi,I just received my xps gen 3 Nov 22,04.Specs in brief-P4 3.60HT,ATI X800XT PCIe,1gb ddr2 ram,raid 0 160gb HD'S,dell ultrasharp 1800fp monitor.I play City of Heroes frequently and sometimes during game play the screen will turn solid blue or just freeze requiring a reboot to resolve the problem.All driver are utd and vid card is compatible with CoH.I have tried calling tech support and always get a FORIEGN speaking person that I can't understand or they can't understand me!!Also,I can't get the screensaver or power saving mode to work correctly.My dimension 8200 P4 2.53,1GB rambus and 5950ultra nvidia card ran it with no problems.Any suggestions would be helpful.Thanks AR1.PS-My ati card temp is around 67 celcius at full load.

    AirRaider1,

    Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

    The problem is not the monitor. Try posting in the General Hardware or Operating System Forums.

    I dunno anything about the heating up and stuffs like that. But how did you find CoH? What is the level of your character. I had to play like for 5 months to get my character leveled up to 30. It is an Ice Blaster. In the Beta I had a controller, but changed the archetype 'cos at that time Controller were horrible. Now the controllers have enormous powers :smileymad:
