    Screen fades to white...
    « on: April 27, 2010, 08:25:07 AM »
    I wasn't sure whether this was a hardware, software, or driver problem, so my apologies if this is the wrong place. The problem I am having with my computer is that every time I run a game on my PC, the screen goes black, and then slowly fades to white. At times, the computer becomes completely unresponsive, and while other times I am able to minimize the program and end the task in task manager. Something I also noticed is that there is still sound, so maybe it's the video card? If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

        It's been doing it with pretty much anything that goes into full screen, but the most recent game I've been trying to run is an older game, SimCity 3000. I know there has been issues running older games on Vista, but I don't think this is the reason because I have never ran into this problem before.
