screen problem !

by earth • 14 May 2007, 20:24 • Journals
hi guys ,
i got a problem with my screen / graficcard / i dont know.
so if I start playing a game my screen turns after some minutes into the stand-by modus .
so the pc is still on but the screen turns off , so the light @ the monitor switches the light from green to orange.
than i have to reboot the pc with the button in the front and everything is ok again till i start gaming.
maybe anyone of you knows the reason.

EDIT :
what if already done is : to install the newest drivers for grafic card , checked all cords , virus scan

system @ profile
ms windows xp home sp2

Too high refreshrate for your r_mode, your monitor can't handle it. open your config and tweak r_refreshrate and r_mode accordingly.

try default config or at least with a r_mode + refresh rate that your monitor can make (as fredd said)
do u have crt or tft btw?

could also be a problem of power supply

My monitor can make it with my old crappy gfx, why shouldn't it with a new good one? :<

Also, my Coolermaster 430W powersupply should provide enough, seeing as I don't have quadcore with 4GB of RAM with 3 HDD's.

gfx card needs lots more power than any other stuff
Parent

Viax 15 May 2007, 09:36
True, but I bought this powersupply just for the gfx. The rest all ran fine on a 250W noname supply. I doubt the gfx uses 150W all by itself. :<

Parent

r_mode 6 with 100 hz in Windows. Again, this works fine with my old gfx, but my new one crashes after a few minutes ingame. :<

disable the screensaver/auto standby after x minutes or smth??? Maybe your pc is not registering the game as action.. dunno just a thought.. :<
Parent

earth 15 May 2007, 16:37
yes everything is disabeld ...
what do you mean with " Maybe your pc is not registering the game as action.." ?
Parent

TsK 15 May 2007, 16:40
prolly just bullshit, can't imagine that the pc would think you are idling when playing...

*edit* test this shit with another monitor tbh!
Parent

earth 15 May 2007, 16:44
