Title: Need help with issue, computer screen goes black then comes back distorted
Post by: mrseed on May 26, 2009, 01:35:21 AM

I need some help. While playing City of Heroes, or City of Villains, my screen will go black, like its going to the screensaver, then come back, but the image is still that of the game i was playing, but its all fuzzy and distorted, and the whole system has frozen up. Is this a virus?? I need some info, becaus I dont want to waste money  on a new Hard Drive, Video Card, or Processor, if it isnt one of those.  ???

Does your video card met with the system requirements of the game? If it does try cleaning your video card. Hope this helps.
