3d52brandon Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Hey everyone. I've got a weird problem here. I'm on Goto's ship, and while I'm playing, my monitor will just randomly go to sleep, thereby locking my computer to the point where CTRL - ALT - DEL won't even restart. I have to do a hard restart of my system. Here are my specs: P4 2.5 ghz 512 megs ram 256 meg Radeon 9600 pro 18" hp 1825 lcd It hasn't given me these problems up to this point. I updated my Catalyst drivers to the newest ones, still puts my monitor to sleep. My power settings are set to always on. Ugh. I have no clue what's going on. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

Janmanden Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 If it was a CRT monitor I'd tell you to stop beating your monitor, because they power cord WILL eject eventually... (happens to me quite often). When your monitor goes to sleep, you can still hear the sounds of K2, even when walking around in the blind?

GMan2 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Pull out a gun, heavy steel rod, or some other heavy object capable of doing extensive damage to your monitor....shoot, smash, throw...said object directly towards the screen watching as millions of tiny particles of glass go spewing all over the place. Report a totally weird, really mind blowing, freak accident that involved you monitor to your significant other, parents, grand parents....whomever fits the bill the best...explaining that you are in dire need of a new LCD monitor for Christmas. :D (Dual-Boot)Windows XP Pro (32 - Bit) SP3 & Windows Vista Ultimate (SP 1) 64 Bit | Intel Dual Core 2 Quad 6600 @ 2.4 Ghz | 8 GB Corsair DDR 3 Ram 1600 mhz | GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB PCI Express X 3 SLI enabled | NVidia Forceware Drivers 181.22| EVGA nForce 790I-SLI Ultra MOBO | Thermalake 850 Watt PWR | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Are you sure its entering sleep mode? If it is is then it should happen at a set time (eg 10 minutes since the game started). Can you alt+tab out of the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "Entering Sleep Mode." Then it says, "No Video Input," even though obviously there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
