So i've just bought Burnout Paradise and it works flawlessly except that after a while my monitor will go to sleep. I can hear the game carrying on and i have to alt-tab out the game and back again. My friend said it was due to my Graphics card not getting enough power since i recently added 2 more HHD's and an extra DVD-RW, but all my other games still work without my monitor going to sleep so i'm not so sure if my PSU is the problem which by the way is a crappy 400Watt model. So right now i don't know if it's the games fault or my PSU.
 
Your friend be wrong. Its probably something with the game. Only solution I can think of, besides reporting it and hoping it gets patched, is to just turn off monitor sleeping in windows.
