I don't know why, but the video card for my Imac just goes off randomly so I have to restart the computer every time that happens. (Which isn't very healthy for the computer) We just had the video card changed by Apple.
Also, I thought it might be because it was over heating, but when I felt the top, it was quite cool.
What can I do? |

A Mac is a PC. Counter-Trololol. Now would you kindly help me if you can? |

What exactly do you mean by the video card goes off randomly?

Well, I'm probably wrong in saying randomly. Unless you think there is a sequence? Or a certain thing I do that sets it off? (But I doubt that.) |

I think he meant "What do you mean by it goes OFF" |

The screen just goes off as if the computer is turned off. But I know my computer is still on because of the red glow from my mouse. |

See someone in an Apple store. They are really helpful.

It sounds like your video card wasn't properly installed or connected. I would try removing the video card and then make sure to properly put it back in. If that doesn't help you may simply have a bad video card.
Also, what did you mean when you said your mac was a pc?

PC = Personal Computer. A Mac is a personal computer.

Sometimes this happens to me but in a different way
Sometimes, many times, my computer restarts when I put in a CD, And sometimes it restarts in the process of restarting.
Healthy much? xD

We sent it to apple for a reason. Changing the video card is too complex and difficult. |

What kind of mac is it (imac, mac pro, etc.)? Also it sounds like maybe your monitor isn't plugged in correctly so if possible check that.

Considering he said it was an Imac in the first post, I assume it's an Imac. |
