Hi
I have been experiencing a very weird problem for the last couple of months.
While I am using my computer, the screen turns BLACK out of the blues. I tried to figure out this problem. I realized that my monitor just TURNS OFF as if I shut down my computer WHILE the computer is actually still working. And the monitor’s power indicator “green colored” keeps blinking (= power saving mode) instead of glowing green (= normal operation).
I tried the Power Options from the Control Panel and I set the “Turn off monitor”, “Turn off hard disks” and System standby to NEVER. But it didn’t solve the problem.
I used to have a CRT 17 inch LG Flatron ez T710BH. I recently bought an LCD Samsung SyncMaster 172t. And I still have the same problem, so it is obviously not related to the monitor.
My graphics card is ATI Radeon 9500 PRO.
One more thing which might be causing this hardware conflict … When I double click my surround mixer … It says “SB Audigy 2 [B000]” and sometimes “SB Audigy 2 [6000]”. Notice the “B” & the “6” … What could be possibly causing this?
I have a Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 (6.1) and it works fine both ways.
Finally here is my full rig:
- GA-8KNXP motherboard 875P
- Intel Pentium 4 2.8C GHz with 800MHz FSB supporting HT
- Kingston Value RAM KVR400X64C3AK2/512 Dual Channel Memory
- Aopen case H500A with Q-TEC PSU 550WP
- Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120 GB 7200 RPM ATA/133 2MB buffer
- Seagate U series ST340810A 40GB 5400 RPM Ultra ATA/100 2MB Buffer (my old hard drive)
- ATI Radeon 9500 PRO 128 MB AGP 8X/4X BUS
- Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2
- Liteon 48x24x48x CD-RW & 16X DVD-ROM Combo
- Asus 52x CD-ROM (my old CD-ROM)
- D-Link PCI 56k Modem
- Thomson SpeedTouch 330 DSL Modem (USB)
- Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 Speakers
- Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop (Keyboard & Mouse)
- Samsung SyncMaster 172t.
Any help would be greatly appreciated concerning the monitor and the sound card problem.
 
How many fricking forums are you going to post this thread in??!!

I understand you have a problem man but you have got to only post ONE thread in ONE forum. Not the same exact thread in half the forums on HardOCP!

Do you check all the HardOCP forums? .... and i mean all of them .... WELL I DON'T... That's why i posted my problem in many forums so more people with different interests might see it and thus increasing my chances of solving the problem.

That may be true but i believe that is against forum rules. Your only suppost to post ONE thread. You need to just post it in whatever forum you think it will get the most attention in and the moderators there will move it wherever they think it fits the best. You can't go and post the same exact thread in four or five forums to try and get more of a response.

HELLO !!!!! three replies and NO HELP WHAT SO EVER!!!!

Well thanks VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP!!!!

As for my UNLAWFUL DISGRACEFUL MULTIPLE POSTING.......SUE ME!!
 
ok I'll bite....your display driver is timing out because your video is pumping out a measley 60hz to your monitor I think it really doesn't like to run that slow....crank your refresh rate for the monitor up to 70hz or as high as your monitors specs. allow, and enable V-SYNC.
there is also a windows update that adresses this issue.
