Hey Everyone, I'm new around here, but I've been on this site/forum a lot, and it's pretty helpful!
So I need some help...
I've just finished building my new desktop recently and everything seemed to be working fine...
However, to kick things off, I decided to run Crysis...
Things seem to be working pretty fine, but then my monitor would eventually go into standby mode before I could reach the first cut-scene and I can still hear as though things are working fine, but the screen is blank(black). Checking my numlock lights and what not.. it'll be fine for about a minute until it actually freezes up, and the only way to get out of it is a reboot.
I did this test a couple times and still, no solution. It also occured mutliple times in TF2.
I thought it might've been because I have my monitor hooked up to my video card w/ a VGA adapter, since my monitor is old and doesnt take DVI.
To check this, I switched out my monitor w/ my housemate's HDTV. Using a DVI (from vidcard) to HDMI(hdtv).
This seemed to fix the problem with TF2, but Crysis is still giving me the same problem. (the TV says, no signal).
Already checked my temps and what not both for the CPU and GPU.
CPU is in the 40s
GPU is low 60's (which i hear is normal)
wow this is a bit odd...
First thing to check is all the power connectors, especially leading to GFx and CPU.
Also check that the GFx is connected to the MOBO properly.
If either one of these is wrong it shouldn't produce this error, but doesnt hurt to check.
Do you have any other games? Does it happen then?
Have you installed the latest drivers?
Try unistalling the video card, then reinstalling it (drivers I mean).
Yeah those temps are farily normal.
Have you done any OCing?
