Monitor Problems

Logged in last night for the first time in awhile, and having an issue. After about 5 minutes (tops), my screen goes black. The computer doesn't crash, I can still hear the game music. Can't al-tab to another window, or out of NWN. I have to give it a hard reboot. I'm running Windows XP, and I can run much more graphics intensive games (Guild Wars, NWN2, Sims 2) fully or almost fully cranked without any problems.

Did a little bit of research, saw Marleh's thread from a little while back. I am on a new 22" LCD, but turning off the auto and running in windowed mode doesn't help.

Any ideas? I'm at a loss.

I had a friend with the same issue cept on WOW. Turned out there was a conflict between the game video, Video Card drivers, and the New Monitor. He eventually had to swap Vid Cards to solve the problem.
