hmmm, system specs would be helpful. Is the computer crashing and rebooting during gameplay?

Provide more detailed info and we can better help you.

When I try to put off and then put on the main switch behind CPU, the screen shows desktop with shortcut icons on it and it looks if it is starting/ activating, but then suddenly the message comes on the screen, 'DPMS OFF MODE'.
Sometimes the message would be, 'CHECK THE SIGNAL'
Please guide!
Thanks!
Kumar

So your not shutting the systen down properly? That in itself is enough to cause problems.

Hi, What can be done now? I am not able to shut down it as it doesn't start at all and just gives DPMS OFF MODE.
Thanks!
