Title: Lock ups and Black outs
Post by: Ichi on March 28, 2000, 09:04:00 PM

It's happened a few times now.

Once and a while, sim locks up inflight. Able to Alt-f4 out to desktop. I could be flying for one minute to 15 minutes or more.

Re-starting AH, a small white rectangle pops up and disappears (resolution change?) then instead of the HTC background and Clipboard, I get a blackout. Alt-f4 returns to desktop.

MoBo temps at 93-95F. Running V2 in SLI. Doesn't seem to be heat related. Otherwise after a reboot it would still persist.

Hi Ichi,

So how do you eventually get it to run again?  Do you have to reboot your box or will it work fine after your Alt F4 the second time?

Reboot has been the only work-around.

Ichi, it's probably video driver related.  Have you tried updating your video drivers?

Perfect plans, aren't.

Thanks for the tip. Looks like Creative put out new drivers for the TNT and V2s this month. Will try them out and let you know.
