I'm running an ATI Raydeon 9600 pro vid card with FS2004, lately during flight screen freezes, sound stays, computer reboots and resolution is changed on computer to 800 X 600 on restart, any suggestions will be well received,

Overheating. Crack open the case and give it a good clean. Or for $10 you can go down to your local staples, and we will do it for you.

Did'nt even consider overheating as unit was rebuilt about 6 months ago and has 3 fans, motherboard heat sink was plugged, thanks

You may want to the thermalpaste on the video card, as it has probably all burnt up by now.
