    Display shuts off; graphics card fan stops spinning.
    « on: May 11, 2011, 03:23:56 PM »
    When I am in game my display just shuts off, monitor still stays on and tower is still on.
    My graphics card is a radeon 5570
    Gateway fx4710
    Nothing special

    Does moving the mouse or pressing a key bring the screen back to life? Has it always been this way or did it just start? If it just started, what happened just before it started? Check power options to see if display is set to power down after a period of inactivity. Also check screen saver and see if it is set to come on with no image.

      No, it started when I had a dual monitor setup for a while.
      I don't have any power saving options on my comp.

        I also have to wiggle the graphics card to get the fan spinning again
