Screen Blackout!!!!!
Hello ppl,
heres the thing.... I have a TV card (Pixelview Pro, crapy one) and everytime I turn it on aftrer roughly half an hour or so the screen goes blank. Then I have no control of keyboard, mouse or anything...sound is still there though ! the only way back in is to reboot it via the main button. I have looked into powersaving settings and changed it so it reads followng; hibernate= never standby=1 hour shutdown harddrive= 2 hour no other settings within TV card are related as far as i can c. Not quite sure what else to do...its really annoying ! what say you ? Many Thanks Win98 SE 1Ghz,256mb, 32mb Matrox dualhead graphics. |

Welcome to PCMech, EDD32!
 Could be a heat-related problem. Try checking your temps when this happens. Do you have another video card you could swap with the one you have in the system now?
