Title: Monitor Blanks When Playing Game
Post by: Emory Smith on March 25, 2004, 08:03:16 PM

Yesh, hi. My monitor goes blank everytime, after about 5 mintues, when I play a game, single or multi-player. Does anyone know why it does this, and quick because I really want to start playing my games again.

Well I play Medal of Honor and Diablo 2 but it's nothing to do w/ the games. I have a brand new flat screen IBM thinkvision.

Having not owned a TFT monitor i am not sure if this will do anything but... Have you tried putting 'Vertical sync' on in the nvidia/ATI control panel? This will make it so the FPS does not exceed the monitors refresh rate and can fix similar problems with CRTs .

Well, it already had a vertical snyc on it. Any ideas now? Besides calling the people, I'd like to avoid calling them.
