Windows Forum / Windows XP / Games / August 2007NO SIGNAL
When i play games on my Pc and error message is generated by ATI saying that the graphics card is no longer responding to comands, then the screen goes black with a small box saying "NO SIGNAL" - this is extremely annoying :( if anyon could help i would be forever thankfull. I have all the most recent drivers and i have cleaned out the fans on the pc so overheating would not be a problem. And the moniter is securely plugged in and all the pins are intact! Many thanks, Cal No signal means exactly that: the monitor does not get a signal from the video card. Seeing that you are 'securely plugged in' the problem seems to be the video card. Does this only happens with games, if so which ones? And what are the specs of your card? > When i play games on my Pc and error message is generated by ATI saying that > the graphics card is no longer responding to comands, then the screen goes [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Many thanks, Cal Hi Teasel, The problem that you've described suggests that: 1. You have a hardware defect, probably with the ATI card, or 2. You do not have a sufficient power supply to supply the juice your ATI needs. Google for a free application that will monitor your video card's voltage, and if it is continuously fluctuating as I supect it is, you will need to replace your power supply with a larger model. Google for a Power Supply Voltage Calculator in order to add up the total requirements of all the peripherals in your system.
