Question Black Screen, Hanging

I have the following configuration,

HP Pavilion a1010y customizable Desktop PC

* Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Home Edition with SP2
* Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 519J (3.06GHz, 533MHz FSB)
* 512 MB DDR2-400 RAM / PC2 3200 (2 DIMM)
* 80GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive
* 48x max. CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive
* 2 USB 2.0, 1 Firewire ports + WinDVD Creator
* 3.5 in. 1.44MB Floppy Drive
* None
* Integrated Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 900
* Integrated Intel(R) High Definition Audio


While playing any PC Game for example, "Real Arcade" (downloaded from www.realarcade.com), the Screen turns BLACK. Keyboard does not work. Only option remains to 'Power Down'. The games seems running in the back-ground, but screen is all black.

Please help.

thanks,
-niladri

Most likely your intergrated graphics onboard video is causing the problem. You could try turning down hardware acceleration, but then the games might play slow and choppy. For games you need a standalone video card.
