Post by rjmno1 »

Sinds when i have a new monitor mine videocard acts strange, when i,m playing after 10 or 15 minutes mine screen goes black with windows on the background active.
I have a lyiama prolite e2483hs running on mine old videocard a nvidia gt 630 with 2 gb of ddr3 memmory.
For the rest i,m running windows 10 x 64 with the s3tc textures enabled.
Videcard drivers downloaded yesterday.
Its a medion personal computer i 7 with 16 gb of base memmory.
Mine question is mine videocard kaput or is mine new monitor not good for mine hardware.

Well, if it happens with any game, and not only UT itself, and only with the new monitor, then I would say that the problem is the monitor itself.

The real question here is in which situations does that happen exactly.
Does the same happen when playing other games? Does the same happen when simply browsing through the web, or watching a video for that long?
And when does it return to normal, when you leave UT or restart your PC or something else?

Because it sounds more like that your new monitor seems to think that the graphic card is idling for some reason, and it simply goes to sleep after being 10 to 15 minutes "inactive" (when it's not).

A couple of things to consider

1 install the driver and colour profile for the monitor, so Windows has all the correct info
https://iiyama.com/gl_en/products/prolite-e2483hs-1/

Are you trying to run the game at a higher screen size with this new monitor ?
What temperature is the GPU reaching ?

Are you using original UT renderers, or have you updated ?
Have you installed the full DirextX 9 runtime files ?
If not Win 10 is running the graphics in DX software emulation mode.

it has nothing todo with the renderers ,i just did install chess made by unrealed version 4.
and that game crashes also so i think that the videocard is broken or not functioning properly.
i have to look for a new one, it will be a nvidia vidcard for around 100 euro.
it only crashes when i play the games unreal and chess and maby all other games also.
so its going tobe a new one.
its a strange thing it only crashes when i play games.
sinds mine harddrive is eol i must bye a new vidcard also,its going to be a expencive month
the gpu reaches 28 or 30 grades Celsius wich is normal.
ill use opengl 36 or 37 wich i uses for the last 10 years or so.
the directx runtime libarys are only running on a lower windows configuration.
so i have windows 10 installed i just did give it a try and that runtimes just not run on windows 10 machines.í was mistaken the runtime 9 are running now maby this will help.
it did not helped the videocard unleash after 15 minuuts of play a strange movement and after that the screen goes black. :noidea
thanks for the profiles its indeed a Always forgotten piece of software, i did installed it. dr flay.
its going to be a gtx 1050ti with minimum of 2 gb of memmory.

So i did install a new harddisk a seagate baracuda-st 2 tb and it works just fine for me.
i,m saving some money for the new videocard. :gj:
the harddisk with errors on i,m now doing a low level format and maby the disk will be save for some more months.
Btw i did found the settings for de servers for playing ut99 online because some servers from ut are offline i mean the master servers i did found then settings again on this forum.

http://hddguru.com/

use this tool for all diying harddisks, and do some low level format.Maby the disk will be save for a long time hopely.
Maby it can repair some bad sectors.
