my monitor, an LG-Flatron F700B (1048x768@75Hz), shuts down every time I run
a 3D program, particularly games, even 3D screensavers, it's less than a
year old and has run fine
for ages, but since I got an "evil commando 2 powercolor Radeon 9700
(128mb)" and used the catalyst 3.6/3.7 drivers on an XP-pro OS, my monitor
occasionally shuts down and wont turn back on. now it is common and happens
as soon as I start a game and I am forced to reboot whilst in the game
(sometimes ruining my save).
I don't think it is the monitor, although it runs very bright and black has
never been black but a dark shade of grey (it is like a light bulb shining
behind a black coloured piece of paper) but it is an otherwise very good
monitor as far as I know.
sys contains:
