I am playing Tom Clancys Rainbow Six Vegas, when i am into the game, while i am playing on a mission, my monitor says NO SIGNAL INPUT and swaithces to stand by mode, but the game is still running! Does anyone know what the problem could be and any solutions, pease help. Thanks
is that all you see on the screen is no signal because if is & game appears to be still running because of flashing led's than your videocard might have died.
if you can still hear the game and there's no distortion in the sound, then yeah, you've maxed out your videocard. it probably overheated and needed to cut out for a bit. if it's *still* not working, the card is dead. time for a new one.
Thanks for the reply, but i also play Pro Evolution Soccer 6 and SWAT 4 and both of them all work without any problems, it is just on Rainbow Six Vegas where i encounter this problem, so could it still be the videocard?
what videocard is it? make and model, please. and are you running it on the same settings on all games?
if you've checked for patches, updates, etc, and found nothing, then try running the game on lowest settings and see if it happens again. if it does, the issues lies in the code somewhere. if it doesn't, then the game was somehow maxing your card out.
hmmm... and there were no update files for the game? i'd do a complete uninstallation, registry cleaning, defrag, etc etc and make sure *all* drivers on your PC are up to date, especially graphics. then, reinstall the game.
I did all those things and still the game crashes. I think i should forget this game, as i cant find a solution.
what is the game system requirements & what is your system specs? what colors is the game supposed to be in as in 256, 16bit or what? try the game on another pc to see what happens.
