Hello there mate,
1st time post for me,

and i'm using it now for playing Guild Wars 2.
1st i'm using the "auto detect" mode in Guild Wars 2
where give me "high" setting for the graphic
but after a few minutes i got a black screen.....
that force me to shut down my system by press and hold the power button,
then i try with "low" setting for the graphic (in Guild Wars2)
but still got the black screen after another few minute..
and i'm using CCC ver. 12.8
i have been search and found some post with similar issue with this (black screen while gaming with r7870)
what can i do to solve this prob ?
Note : before using r7870, i used r4870 1GB, and have no problem playing Guild Wars 2 (in low setting)
here is my rig :
Main Board : MSI - Z68MA - G45
CPU : I3 - 2120
RAM : 2x4GB GSkill

sorry for my bad English, hope you all still can understand.

have you tried msi vga drivers for your card?
do you have such issues elsewhere?
well i haven't tried using the drive that come within the bundle yet
but as i mentioned before, i did not have any problem playing GW2 and other games
with my previous card (4870) and using exactly the same rig,
so i don't think the problem lies elsewhere,
but i think ill try msi vga driver that i got in the cd 1st,
thanks for your suggestion, ill report again the result later.
tried the msi vga drive (ver. 8.95) that come within the budle
and well... still got the black screen problem.. (tested with guild wars 2)

Black Screen while gaming

I am operating a HP Pavilion dv6-2066dx notebook. While gaming for a bit with my charger plugged in, my screen turns black. It doesn't turn off because all the lights are still operating. I notice that the audio shuts off as well. But while gaming while It isn't plugged in it doesn't happen. I thought it was overheating, but my fan is clean and doesn't have dust on it. I don't think it is my charging unit either cause my other computer can operate with the same exact charging unit. Any easy solution?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Makes since.
That at least tells me what I kind of figured, It's some sort of software issue...
At least it's a start, But like you said to set that to Max Battery Life for playing games it makes it stink and not even worthwhile playing these games until it's fixed IMHO.
It also makes since why when it was running on battery and playing games you didn't have this problem because it would've already been set to Max Battery Life by default.
So I know it's not just me when I most always run mine at balanced.
Question has anyone tried running the games at Preformance with any luck?

F.E.A.R. 2 black screen while using Soundblaster X-Fi

This is my second attempt to get some support for a problem that is plaguing many trying to play F.E.A.R 2 with a Soundblaster X-Fi. We have been on the official forums for WBGames now for the past two weeks asking for help. Many were able to find solutions by updating their codecs however there are many of us that still cannot get into the game. WBGames official response it as follows...
Dear, xxx
Regarding your sound acceleration error and the sound cards you have used, we apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced.
At the moment, we have been noticed that certain Creative sound cards (X-Fi, Sound Blaster and Audigy) and Realtek are presenting incompatibility issues with the F.E.A.R. 2 application. Unfortunately, Creative Labs have not yet released a patch to solve this situation, as other companies like Nvidia have worked on.
F.E.A.R. 2 is designed to function with Windows XP/Vista compatible graphics and sound cards. Drivers for these devices are provided by Windows itself or the respecti've card manufacturers and may occasionally result in incompatibility problems beyond our control.
If there is anything else we can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to contact us by email at [url=mailto:[email protected]">[email protected] m[/url] or by phone 080-0664-9456 (in Germany) during the hours of EST :00 pm - 0:00 pm, PST: 0am- 8pm MON-FRI.
Thank you for contacting Warner Brothers and have a great day.

I thought that someone with creative labs would be interested in either responding or releasing some kind of a statement in regards to this.
The current problem for us is when we try to launch the game a small animated orb runs at the bottom right of the screen while the game loads. At the end of the animation we hear a small chime and the screen goes black as though it is about to load the intro videos. But we get nothing. The screen remains black. I have exhausted all of their solutions, I have updated drivers and tried the latest beta drivers from Creative. I have removed, replaced, and updated codecs. Video card drivers are updated, etc.
Basically we are faced with the following dilema. We can disable the sound card in Windows and the game plays however with no sound. We can run the game in safe mode which manually disables the sound card and the game plays but with no sound. Leave the sound card enabled and run the game in normal mode and we get a black screen.
PLEASE, can someone with Creative Labs respond to this? We are looking for answers and would very much like to play this game.Message Edited by djdouglas on 02-20-2009 09:39 [email protected]

Pardon me but i'm looking your Quad SLI setup a potential culprit to your problems. Have you tried disabling SLI mode to see if the problem can be resolved?
That was my first thought when I encountered this problem. I took the steps troubleshooting video. Disabled SLI, Physically removed one video card. Updated drivers, etc. I am currently running the 82.06WHQL drivers which are suppose to be enhanced for F.E.A.R.2 and other games.
My next step was to try uninstalling codecs as their support team had suggested for people running into issues with the demo version (which btw worked perfectly for me). There were tons of reponses by the devs and community managers before the release of the game in response to people having issues (these same issues) on the demo. So they released a patch the day before the release of the game and when everyone installed the game the patch automatically installed. So for me and many others that enjoyed a smooth gameplay in the demo our rigs are now not working with the official release.
Since release we have yet to see a response or fix or suggestion from a dev. There have been many others in the community that have helped each other out by posting their solutions. For most updating their codecs using Klite or Ace Mega codec pack has fixed their problem but for a select few of us these solutions have not worked.
Basically I can launch the game successfully in safemode which disables sound. I can also disable the sound card and launch the game successfully although without sound. The codec that has seemed to be effecti've when replaced by others is the Microsoft IMA ADHCP codec. However for me I can disable that codec and get a hardware accelration error but still get a black screen. Re enable it and get black screen with no error. So I do not believe this to be the issue plaguing me. Ultimately it is coming down to a conflict with my sound board and the game.

MSI 290X LE Lightning Edition black screen problem

I recently bought the above graphics card, only to run into problems with black screen, furmark blackscreens when it reaches just over 70c & games that push the card ie Crysis 3 also causes black screen problems, I'm also sometimes getting desktop corruptions, usually after it black screened.
My PSU is a 850watt EVGA SuperNova G2 so i know it's not that what causing the problem.
rest of my setup as follows
3770K @4.2Ghz
MSI Z77 Mpower
8GB corsair memory
ect ect.
Any idea's as to the cause of the problem?
edit here what it doing I've uploaded it to youtube.

First of all remove any oc. Then list specs more detailed: >>Posting Guide<<

IPhoto Edit - Black screen problems persist into V11

I have just purchased iPhoto 11 , Version 9.4.3, and everythign appears to be ok - except when you try to edit a photo. All I get is the Black Screen.
This problem has been around since at leat 2006 as far as I can see. And still NO SOLUTION. Now come on Apple. I thought you prided yourself on being Customer driven? That's pretty poor by anyone's standards.
None of the so called "fixes" that litter the forums seem to work. It's not a corrupted library in my case. I have only one photo in it right now. I can see the photo at any time, except in Edit mode.
Is it likely that this problem will be fixed any time soon, or have I just thrown away more money? sigh....

What's the source of the image? What colour profile?
BTW: You're not taling to Apple here, just other users.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to them.

MSI R9 270x OC edition black screen

Hi all I've had the r9 270x for 3 months now and it ran like a champ. I ran Sims 4 the day it came out and worked for what seemed 30 mins and I come across a black screen.
Boots up fine but at login screen I get the same black screen. I've gone as far as formatting my computer several times.
I had it in PCI express 3.0 x16/x8 slot 1
Here are my specs.
Mobo: Asus ROG Maximus V Extreme
PSU: Antec HCG-900
GPU: MSI Radeon r9 270x OC edition
CPU: i7 3770k
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8gb x2
Any type of help would be appreciated :(

Does the computer work with the integrated GPU? Have you tested the vga in another machine or can you?

MSI N580GTX Lightning Extreme Edition (Black Screen / Reboot)

Hi everyone !
Here's my computer specs :
CPU: Intel I7 870 (2.93 Ghz)
MoBo: Micro ATX from my Dell XPS Studio 8000
Memory: 6Go DDR 667 Mhz
PSU: Corsair HX750(w)
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bits
My problem :
80% of my games (Crysis 1 & 2, Bulletstorm,...) & benchs (3DMark 11, MSI Kombustor, ...) crashes after few seconds. My graphic card goes off, black screen, and then my computer automatically reboot. I've tried another PSU, same pb, and my Corsair HX750 is new. So I wonder if the problem is from my graphics card or my (dell) motherboard ? But my config has the minimum required by MSI.
My temporary solution
After few tests with differents drivers, I've try to change the Core Voltage, no result... So I decided to downclock the GPU freqs.
In order to have something stable to 100%, and be able to run all the games and benchs, i've to downclock the GPU like :
Core Clock : 600 Mhz (Original : 772 Mhz)
Shader Clock : 1200 Mhz (Original : 1544 Mhz)
Memory Clock : 1730 Mhz (Original : 2004 Mhz)
Its a big loss frequency!
Hope a new bios will come out to fix the bug.

It's only unstable when i'm use the GPU (Games & benchs), not HD videos.
Most games/bench crashes with default clock @ 1.031v. I tried to overvolted & undervolted the GPU, but my tests were not conclusive. The only way i've found to have all games/benchs stable is to downclock the GPU as I explained in my first post.
Maybe i need a more accurate GPU voltage ? Is it important to change Memory & Aux voltage too ?
have you tested with 1050mV for core?

normally not, but depend what exactly is unstable

MSI 7970 Lightning GHz Edition, black screen problem

Hi all,
I am very dissapointed on the MSI product now. I bought MSI 7970 Lightning BE GHz Edition, when I don't overclock the graphics card and play games I will get black screen or sometime I will get message that "AMD graphics card stopped responding". So I bought a 950W PSU but still problem is there. If I underclocked the card at 600MHz both GPU and memory clock I don't get the problem. But what's the point of having this card paid $500 for nothing. I am so fed up with this card. Please someone help....
My System Spc :
Asus P8Z77-V LX motherboard
16GB RAM
Core i7 3770
PC Power and cooling MKII 950W PSU
Thanks.

watch the attitude! you have got a faulty card it happens occasionally as all manufacturers have a 1-3% defective rate not just MSI so do not start with your bashing as its against the rules here!
there are hundreds of individual parts on a board and any one can go bad causing a problem so if you are going to bash anyone bash AMD's GPU's as that is the most likely problem here on the card and MSI do not make those so keep your "I learned a lesson about MSI... it's a piece of junk" to yourself !

MSI 6850 OC Edition Black Screen when playing Crysis Warhead

Random crashes in Crysis Warhead DX10. It also happened once in Command and Conquer 3 Kanes Wrath DX9.
I get a black screen monitor turns off and the sound goes buzz the system then hangs. The reset button wont work. The MSI LED BIOS code displays C2. Power off then on. The system is stable 2 hours Prime95 CPU only hits 150F. Ran Furmark GPU stable test 1 hour. Turned the fan to manual and set to high the gpu stays around 70c with Furmark GPU. Memtest overnight. No problems. Tried CAT 10.12 10.11 10.10 the MSI downloaded version. Nothing. Clean drivers out. I updated SPTD to 1.75 from per another posts advice. Seems something is really wrong with the drivers and rendering certain objects reboots the card. The card is rock solid on stablity tests and Futuremarks benchtests.
Nvidia Physx game driver uninstalled. Still crashes
Now testing it with SPTD uninstalled. Running tests have my doubts.

2 hour test ran. No errors. Seems like a wimpy test. The GPU Temp never went over 42c. 360-370 FPS.
Already ran a 2 hour test with Furmark GPU with out errors or artifacts. 2 hour CPU only Prime95 test. Memtest over night. System is stable by all accounts. Just when playing some games it will completely mess the system up.
For those MSI motherboard people. Why would the LED Motherboard light say 2C or maybe it was C2. Why would the system not reboot with the reset button. The 6850 card some how goes in to lala land.

Windows 8.1 - Black Screen while online

I use FireFox all the time. Would love to know how to fix the problem of black screens. I use Windows 8.1 and the black screens only happen when I am on the internet. Been told these are called 'hangs' but they never go back to the original screen.

I am getting a black screen while trying to play a game. Help me.

So, I am trying to play a game on my Macbook, from Late 2007, model A1181, OSX 10.6.7
Snow Leopard
2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Using an Intel GMA X3100
Now, this problem, I was actually running Leopard and trying to play Warcraft III: Frozen Throne and I was able to play it no problem at all. I reformatted my macbook recently and put in Snow Leopard and I actually played perfectly fine two days ago. I tried to play today, 2 of the times I tried, the screen turns black, but everything is still running, like I was skyping with a friend just to use the voice chat and then it just turned black and I was still able to talk to him. 1 of the times I tried, the computer just restarted itself and I tried looking it up online, but everyone's questions were for Windows on Mac or Macbook Pro and now I'm all out of ideas.

Uh...I actually don't think so because I don't know how to do it. Haha. Can you tell me how to do it? But yeah, I used to play it all the time, and actually I was trying to watch Netflix, and then I full-screened it, and I also got the black screen, so I don't think it's just games anymore. Do you think it could be the fan?? overheating? and as for settings in the game goes, I put it all down, no shadows, uhh I think all medium settings, but yeah nothing is on high for sure.

Black screen while booting [solved]

After rebooting for the first time in a couple of weeks I get a black screen and I'm unable to do anything.
I'm using a lenovo t60 with an intel graphic chip.
Things I've already tryed:
Adding MODULES="i915" to my mkinitcpio.conf and then regenerating initramfs.
booting into arch with a usb stick and updating all packages
reinstalling udev, mkinitcpio
video=SVIDEO-1:d
I found a work around but it's quite annoying.
If I uninstall xf86-video-intel then install xf86-video-vesa then reboot and set video=SVIDEO-1:d then I'm able to boot but once I start run startx my screen goes white.
To fix the white screen I have to do everything I just said and before running startx I have to install xf86-video-intel again. Then everything works fine.
All of this makes me suspect that xf86-video-intel is the cause ( there has been an update on 2013-02-23 ) but I'm not sure seeing as I'm not an expert.
Here is a photo of my xorg.log (sorry it's a photo I didn't know about sprunge when I made it)

I had the same issue. Try installing linux 3.8 from testing, which fixed the problem for me.
