invisiblesurfer Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi guys I have this problem when I launch some games. When I launch newly installed games, they naturally launch in full screen, in which case my monitor becames all black and completely unresponsive, although I definitelly hear things happening in the background (like the EA sports theme for example). I run other games no problem - like WoW which runs flawlessly. Do you have any clue as to what might be wrong? Has this ever happened to you?

oldnapalm Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 This happened to me with a GeForce 9800 GTX, it has 2 DVI outputs, I just moved my screen to the other one and it works fine.

invisiblesurfer Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to do this move to the second DVI? I also have 2 DVIs. Do you mean I have to physically disconnect the dvi cable from the first adapter and plug it in the other ? For some reason the "main display" entry is shown as no connection. Why's that?

hoangbv15 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Actually, I myself encountered this problem with my Gigabyte 9500GT. Moved to the other DVI port and it worked like a charm.
