Me and maximus have been speaking on another thread.

He is currently running Driver Verifier to see if we can create a BSOD.

 

[Maximus542]

Ok im going to run a game again and see if it throws out a bsod

 

[HarriePateman]

Brilliant okay

 

[Maximus542]

Hey I've ran the game with the same results screen flashing black and no cable connected appearing on the monitor but no bsod though so I went and set the game graphics to its lowest and it did not happen again have been changing one setting at a time now to try and figure out what's been causing the problem but have still had no luck downloaded 3DMark and ran that aswell but still the problem does not reapear it only happens in games

 

[HarriePateman]

Okay, monitor your temps while your gaming...

Report back

 

[Maximus542]

What can i use to monitor my temps

 

[HarriePateman]

I use this: HWMonitor CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

 

[Maximus542]

Ok thanks will come back to you thanks for all the help so far

 

[HarriePateman]

No worries

 

[Maximus542]

hey ok Ive been testing the temps and everything has been going good for the past 2 days but tonight all of a sudden the screen went black again when playing games no bsod or errors came up and it seems like the frame rate of the game also dropped drastically

 

[HarriePateman]

Before it went black, was there anylines? dots? ECT?

 

[Maximus542]

no artifacts nothing i went in to the game and when i move around the monitor goes black every 5 seconds

 

[HarriePateman]

I am wondering if this is your monitor?

Do you have another one you could try?

Or another cable?

 

[Maximus542]

the monitor does not go black any more but the frame rate is very low now

 

[HarriePateman]

no artifacts nothing i went in to the game and when i move around the monitor goes black every 5 seconds

You said it goes black?

Try turning the game settings down?

Maybe we should try to stress your card.

 

[Maximus542]

ill test it with another monitor and come back to you i don't have another cable can it be because i use an adapter from vga to hdmi

 

[HarriePateman]

You can try, but that will only tell us if the port is faulty and not the cable.

So yeah give it ago

 

[Maximus542]

yes it did go black i exited the game and went back in and the frame rates dropped but did not go black again

 

[HarriePateman]

yes it did go black i exited the game and went back in and the frame rates dropped but did not go black again

So it did go black? :huh:
