Hdmi no signal while in game

[baylorrulez]

I have the amd sapphire 7870 oc edition and I got the hdmi no signal error in game and i believe i heard the gpu fans speed up, but i don't think cooling is a problem as i have 3 exhaust fans and 3 intakes and a hyper 212 evo cpu cooler, and my temperature probes were only reading at around 36c which shouldn't be a temperature to crash at, and the game was sniper elite v2, i've had it happen in the past with shogun 2 fall of the samurai but that was three months ago now. Thank you for your help

Did you ever try to connect your monitor with another kind of port?
Might want to try it out

 

[baylorrulez]

Haven't thought of that do you think it could be the hdmi cable over heating and if so why would it do that

 

[rgd1101]

36c on the GPU? that the idle temperature, what the load temperature on the GPU?

Never heard anything about an overheating cable . Might want to liquid cool your cable :lol: .
Is it only happening while gaming?

 

[baylorrulez]

It's only happening during gaming, my idol is 29c and that was my gaming temp

 

[2260121]

my idol is 29c

idol or idle? :lol: But seriously if your gaming temp is 29c, your gpu is cold as f*ck ! That or it's not working.
Check in msi afterburner if your gpu is under load while gaming.

:lol: Dont worry about, it happens.

 

[baylorrulez]

ok, so it goes up to 40c and sticks around there and goes to 60% load

 

[2260121]

Also look at the memory/core speed.

Under what game exactly? Resolution, settings?

 

[baylorrulez]

ok so it gets up to 52c wondering why so fast :S

 

[baylorrulez]

ok it's sniper elite v2 ultra on all aa is on high antistrophic is on 4 super sampling is on 4

Do you happen to be playing on a TV? Perhaps an older TV? I had the exact same thing happen to me when I ran Skyrim on the TV, but it worked fine when on an actual monitor (TV was HDMI and the monitor was VGA, my GPU was a 6950).

I realize my post isn't really helpful, but, who knows.

 

[2260121]

52c is a very good temp for gaming but if you max out the game at full speed the gpu is defenetly working as it should. Catalyst version?

 

[baylorrulez]

I'm running it on a monitor, is there a possibility catalyst thinks its an hdtv?

Well it's more helpfull than a NVIDIA fanboy saying that the 7850 is crap and that if the op bought a gtx 660 at the beginning, he wouldn't have this problem. But fortunately it didn't happen in this thread yet.

What does windows say about your monitor?

 

[baylorrulez]

Okay, so it does pick up my monitor's name so i'll assume that side of the problem is fine

 

[2260121]

Catalyst version?

 

[baylorrulez]

12.8

 

[2260121]

Latest so thats not the problem. The best way to know if it's your cable is to try with another one, the best way to know if its your port is to test it with another kind. If that doesn't do it,I kind of ran out of idea .

 

[baylorrulez]

Okay, do you think it could just be some random faulty glitch it hardly ever happens
