• Monitors shuts down when playing the new sam and max
    16 replies, posted
Since I installed the new sam and max episode today every time I play it my monitor goes to a black screen and a box in the corner appears that switches between having the word analog and digital on the middle. Can someone help me?
I've got a hunch that your monitor doesn't like the resolution you're playing the game in. Maybe there's some config file to change it?
Exactly what I was going to say. I had this when I switched the config of my Borderlands, turns out it was an unsupported res.
[QUOTE=dvondrake;22806558]Your monitor doesn't support either the refresh rate or resolution that the game's trying to run at. Don't forget refresh rate![/QUOTE] Yeah I've had that before, stupid TRL Engine thinking I was running at 75 when I was running at 60 :U
I guess putting the resolution to max in the menu was a bad idea :v: though it's wierd I've had the resolution be the same for the other sam and max games and they work fine.

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~;22806899]Which is?[/QUOTE] I had the resolution at 1680 x 1050
[QUOTE=Lucinice;22806948]I had the resolution at 1680 x 1050[/QUOTE] Meh, and Meh, 1600x900 FTW, only because I can Window BF2 and Use Skype at the same time. Otherwise 2048x1152 all the way, if I had the monitor to do it.
How do I change my screen refresh rate? Changing the resolution on delayed the amount of time it took to screw up.
Almost sounds like an overheating problem to me. Can you play any other demanding games fine? Also, I'm pretty sure ATi's CCC and Nvidia's control panel have options to force a specified refresh rate. Try making a game profile for the game.
Ah what the hell it's doing the same thing with Alpha protocol.
Definitely sounds like it's overheating. Get this [url]http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html[/url] (download's on the right) Post a screenshot just when it's at idle. I'm gonna guess again you have to restart your computer once it blacks out? :v: If that's not the case though, post a screeny after it blacks out in a game
Ya I can't post a screen because I ahve to restart the computer.
Just do idle temps then
[QUOTE=drummerundrcovr;22815437]Just do idle temps then[/QUOTE] What exactly is that?
