Hey fellas, Installed the game perfectly. However about 2 mins into the first mission, monitor switches off and displays 'NO SIGNAL INPUT'. This forces me to reboot, but the game is still running and i can hear everyhting. Just no picture! My PC specs are, AMD Athlon 64X Dual Core Processor 4200+ 2.20GHZ 2GB RAM GRAPHICS CARD: ATI RADEON X1950 PRO DIRECTX 9 450W POWER SUPPLY My MONITOR is VIDEOSEVEN L19WA 192 WIDESCREEN. Please Help Me! Cheers
That's a graphics card crash, suggestive of either a faulty graphics card, or a crummy power supply. At this stage I'm going with the latter. What brand is your 450W PSU? If it's some cheap unknown brand it probably can't put out enough power to run the card. However, what brand is the X1950 pro? Pray it isn't a Connect3D one...
The power supply is a SEASONIC 450 WATT POWER SUPPLY. Graphics Card is ATI RADEON X1950 PRO. I also had problems runnign Rainbow Six Vegas and had the same monitor problem. The graphics card is not a 3D Connect. Could the problem be my monitor, as it is a PLUG AND PLAY. No drivers needed. Any help greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Hmm, has the problem only recently started occurring? How hot is the air coming out the back of the graphics card?
Yes, with this game and Rainbow Six Game Vegas. Pro Evolution Socer 2008 runs perfectly no problems. The air is quite cold coming out on the side of the case and warm on the back. Again many thanks for your time and effort in helping me sammorris. Much appreciated it!
Hmm well, Rainbow Six Vegas thanks to some shoddy porting work by Ubisoft is one of the more demanding games out there. Needless to say Pro evo isn't. This means it only happens under high load. If you say the air coming out the back of the PC is warm, then the PC is presumably being cooled properly. The X1950 Pro will have a small vent that occupies one of your backplates, which is where its fan exhausts. How hot is the actual metal of that during Vegas? If the fan isn't running fast enough, that bit of metal should become very hot (it'll get quite hot normally, about as hot as you can bear to touch without it being unpleasantly painful, but if it's scalding hot, you've got issues) If the GPU seems cool enough, perhaps it's the cooling in the rest of your PC? How many case fans do you have?
hi i just bought call of duty 4 and it wont get past the starting point. it tells me Video card or driver doesn't support UBYTE4N vertex data. but my graphics card in a GeForce 8800
