Blue Screen When Gaming On Hdtv

I connected a 5970 to my hdtv via a mini displayport to hdmi adapter and when loading up a game or exiting one it'll sometimes blue screen with a irql not less or equal error. I've tried disabling the ati hdmi audio device to see if that was the culprit, but no luck. The weird thing is it happens randomly. Also, it's not reproducible on my main display. Edit: under further testing. This only seems to happen with crysis warhead. Catalyst 10. 2 here.

How Do I Connect Laptop To Hdtv?

I'm not even going to pretend that i know what i'm doing, so please bear with me. I have a vga cable and then this green cable for audio (i think that's the right one?). Well, i plugged both in to the appropriate ports on both the tv and my computer but it still won't pop up on my tv. After pressing fn f8 on my pc's keyboard, i got the tv to become my new monitor. But the audio is still not working. I also tried restarting my computer and turning off my tv, but nothing happened.

Connect Computer To Laptop Screen

My home computer's not working i think it's the screen monitor. Can i somehow connect it to my laptop screen?

Answer:- no - laptops don't have the right "video-in". Perhaps you could borrow a monitor from a friend. (Lots of folks have extra monitors around. ) Does your monitor have any on-screen menus to access various adjustments? For a simple test, try to activate the on-screen menu. If that doesn't come up at all, that will confirm that the monitor is dead.

When Pc Gets To Windows Logo Screen It Shuts Down Completely

I am experiencing a somewhat strange issue when i start my computer. The computer begins and progresses through its startup procedure fairly normal. However, when it gets to the windows logo screen, the logo flashes and shakes for a second or two. It is at this point that the computer will "sometimes" shut down completely(i'd say 70% of the time). It doesn't restart, it shuts down completely. However other times, the computer will make it past the windows startup screen. If it makes it past, it will continue to load windows perfectly and will work flawlessly. As far as i can tell, if it gets in to windows, it works for as long as the computer is on. Yet when i restart the computer, the same thing happens everytime. It seems completely random to me as to whether or not windows completes its load. I have tried using each stick of ram seperately, i have removed the video card and re-set it, i have reset the cmos, i have unplugged and replugged the hard drive. Nothing seems to change anything. Also, safe mode works perfectly everytime. I have looked around online for solutions but most of these posts don't apply to computers that can and do get to windows some of the time. *** Later note: as i have furher worked with the computer i have found some of the above statements to be untrue. Now it makes it to windows sometimes but it definitely shuts down after a random amount of time every time. Is there any hope other than replacing my motherboard?

Computer Just Shuts Off

A couple hours ago, i tap the front of the case with my foot, and everything just shuts off. I tried turning it back on and nothing happened. So i turned the power supply off and back on and tried again. This time, it tried to start and then immediately shutoff again. The power supply has a blue light in it and that goes out immediately as well. I can see 2 yellow lights on the motherboard are lit when the power supply is turned on. Do you think my power supply blew or is it something else? Any way i can test?

Computer Shuts Down Automatically

My system, while running, would power off itself suddenly, and when i try to power it on again, it would not start and gives me a beep and then a small beep, along with the code 8. 3. However, if i wait like 5 to 10 mintues and then try to turn it on, it starts. From the manual:

Ac2003 post code definition:

8. 3. Atx power supply ready

Computer Shuts Off After Startup

I just put together a new comp and unfortunately when i go to start it, it stays on for about a second and then shuts off, it only stays on long enough for the lights to flash and the fans to move just a bit, then it shuts down. I have been looking at different troubleshooting pages and they all have given me different answers to my prob, a few said pcu, some said motherboard, some said power supply, and one said memory. I wanted to know if anyone can give me an informed opinion on what might be causing the problem.

Computer Shuts Down During Memtest

My comp was suddenly shutting off during movies, music and internet browsing. It gen didn't shut off while standing still. I used the dell os cd to erase the partition and format ntfs (reg, not quick). During the menu's before the formatting and during the formatting, it continue'd to shut off. Now i don't have an os. On another comp, i burned two cds, one is window mem test and the other is memtest. The computer passed the windows mem test on all 11 counts of the adv scan. It keep restarting during the other cd, with memtest. Neither memory testers show an error while they are running. Both are run in default mode, as configured when i burned the isos the their cds. I ran the built-in diag tool in the bios, but it could only run half the tests, because the diag utilies on the hd are erased. I don't have the drivers and utilities cd that it asks for. Is this a memory prob, power supply, or what? I don't really have money to take to a repair shop or buy parts without knowing the prob. Let me know if you need any more info.

Computer Just Shuts Down Completely

Ok i have a computer never had a problem since i've had it i've always kept it updated . With new hardware and software. But now all of a sudden i'm on the internet or playing a game . Even watching tv and it just shuts down completely! . I thought maybe it was a virus so i backed up all my files, reformatted the computer, and re-done the windows. Still shutting down. Do you know what this could possibly be. My computer doesn't get hot. I got a fairly new power supply. But i've been using the same surge protector. Its a small one. But i've alwayz had that one since i got the computer. Someone at walmart thinks i need to get a new surge protector . The real big one. With the cable plug-ins on it for the tv.

Booting From Cd Shuts Off The Computer

Whenever i boot from my windows xp pro cd to reinstall the os it shuts off the computer completely at a certain point. I'm not sure if it is time related, but it shuts off right around the screen that it asks where to install xp. However, ubuntu 7 and windows vista are fine. They install and startup without a hitch. So what's the deal with xp? Could it perhaps be a problem with my cd or is it something else? The computer original ran xp back when i bought it in november 2006. I've seen this problem across the net but none seemed to propose an answer. I don't really think it would be a hardware problem if xp is the only one that has done this. Please note, this is not the first time i have reinstalled xp (i have installed it before successfully, this is the very first time i have had problems like this).

Computer Shuts Off Unexpectedly

So, this just started happening the other day, for no reason what so ever that i can see my computer just shut off. Not a shutdown sequence or anything like that, just flat out power-off like someone pulled the plug. Thought at first maybe a short power outage as we have been having them recently here, and it seems my ups backup is dead because it's been doing nothing to keep the comps up when the power goes out. I immediatly realized though, that not a single thing in the room other than the computer turned off. The other comp next to me was still on, lamp was still on, monitors were still on (though blank now). The problem keeps coming up now too, if i try and do anything with my computer other than just general email/programming/play some mp3s, it's likely to turn off, especially if i fire up any game like world of warcraft or black and white 2. At this point, i've determined it's likely either 1) the graphics card is over heating and causing the computer to power down or 2) my power supply has somehow become unstable and likes to shutoff if it's getting stressed or something. Idea #1 i tested by installing a temperature monitor and watching the temp. It's running at around 70c, sometimes getting up to about 76-78c. It's an nvidia 8800gtx card and from what i've seen searching about it, these temperatures are considered fairly normal, and i shouldn't have a problem unless i start seeing 85c+ which i never have. None the less, i'm still not entirely sure that the card isn't the problem since the power-off only seems to occur when it's being worked by a game, and the temp hits the mid-70s. For idea #2 i don't have any idea what i can do to test this. I have no backup power supply i could swap with which will work with this system (sata connectors, the gtx's power connectors, etc) otherwise i'd do that and see if the problem goes away. Is there any way i might be able to some how test this power supply without having to spend a lot of (preferably no, as i'm unemployed atm) money?

Lastly, any other ideas for things to check? According to the temperature monitor software my cpu is running at a nice cool 45c pretty much all times, and it's "system temperature" is 40c almost consistently. I'm pretty sure it's not the cpu that's overheating or causing a problem.

Computer Shuts Itself Off After 10 Seconds

When i turn on the power button the fans, leds, and hard drive turn on, but nothing appears on the screen. Then, 10 seconds later the computer shuts itself off. All this while no beeps come from the speaker. I've tried to reset the cmos with no resolution. My next step was removing all the peripherals, including the video card, but the symptoms remain exactly the same, in that it shuts off after 10 seconds. I removed the cpu and it doesn't smell burnt at all. I should add that there is a 5 month old antec power supply (i believe around 500 watts). So i'm going to assume its not the power supply. My question is weather the problem lies in the cpu or motherboard, or what other suggestions or help you guys may have.

Computer Shuts Down Unexpectedly

The computer shuts down only when i am really dogging it. For instance, yesterday, i had photoshop/unreal dev kit/web browser/messenger/movie tut/documentation all running on windows 7 and was using close to 3gb of memory and had just opened the unreal dev test mode and after about 3 minutes of traveling around to diagnose my map, it shut down. I was monitoring the temperatures as i was fully aware i had a lot going on and was definitely pushing it as hard as i could. Video showed about 75oc (i've called evga and they claim this is right about where it should be at peak temperature); my core was at about 56-57oc (again, i've called this in and amd claims that's about perfect at peak); and my general system temperature was about 53oc and suddenly, poof, the computer went off. The board didn't seem to receive any damage and came right back on and ran without any complaints, it was just that it seemed to say "i have had enough, i'm going down". I don't see any event logs in windows event viewer outside unexpected power outage, so i'm assuming it was delegated by the board, not windows. I have run prime95 for 24 hours to make sure that the processor isn't having trouble, and i ran 3dmark for 6 hours to make sure it wasn't video trouble and neither item alone pops the computer. Reading around, i don't believe i'm using over 450w-500w of power, and have a 700w power supply, that wattage calculation came from a wattage calculator and i tried to get at least 200 over the suggested amount. How can i figure out what is shutting down this dang computer!? Any suggestions? Should i just buy a second power supply and try it? Is 700w grossly underpowered for this kind of setup?

I'm going in for another prime95 test this weekend in fear that the board got damaged again. Does anyone have any other applications i should use to test what is causing this?

Computer Powers Then Shuts Down

I have a problem with an older computer (98-99) i turn it on, and it starts to turn on, and then as soon as it starts to load a little bit it turns off, the monitor stays on though. I have tried putting in the recovery disk but the computer turns off before i get to start formatting, does anyone know what it could be? I have tried plugging it in different outlets and nothing changes. Is it the power supply?

Computer Powers Up Shuts Down

The machine i'm running is listed below. I've had it for a few months, and today, when i tried turning it on, it would shut off within a second or two of turning it on. No post, no nothing. I tried unplugging the ps, because i read online that that sometimes solves similar problems people were having, but no luck. Before anyone asks, i installed an hd 3850 a few weeks ago, and that's the only hardware change. I think it could be the bios, but i've never had problems when i upgraded it when i built the machine.

Computer Shuts Down Restarts

For the past few weeks my computer has been shutting down on its own, the thing is sometimes it restarts right away and other times it could be an hour or two it will just boot back up on its own. I have tried everything i could think of i swapped the power supply with another one i had and same problem, took my video card out and tired another still same problem. My processor rarely ever runs hotter than 35c. I get no errors from windows. I reformatted my windows still same problem. I tried different ram still same problem. When my computer works like it is right now it runs perfect, the thing is it could shut down any second, or it could shut down two hours from now. Any help would be great i'm totally stumped.

Computer Freezes Shuts Down

I have had this problem that has got worse over the past week. When i first boot up i seem too get about 10 mins worth, then the screen freezes and then shuts itself down. I have trouble restarting, so i switch off completely. Then 5 mins later i turn back on and it seems to be fine. Until the next time. It happens the same again. I have a new case and fan so there is nothing wrong with that or power supply. I regular defrag and do a spy-ware and anti virus check. I'm running out of ideas, so can any one help.

Computer Shuts Down After Start Up

I have been working on this problem for the last 5 days and can't think of anything else to try. My computer when you get to the windows loading screen will shut down, but it can load into safe mode. After i load safe mode i am able to restart and load normal mode and i get to desktop for about 2 or so minutes then shuts down again. It is not a heat problem, i have checked the heat and all the fans are spinning. If anyone has any ideas?

Computer Shuts Down During Post

I built a computer for a friend of mine 2-3 weeks ago, and had it up and running with no problems. I thoroughly benchmarked and stress tested it. Once i was satisfied i packed it up and shipped it to my cousin. He just received it yesterday, hooked everything up, and the machine would turn on for 10 seconds, then just shut off. During this time, the fans and everything spins, so it doesn't seem to be insufficient power. After walking him through some steps over the phone, its seems that the rtc jumper was on the 'clear' pins, and not the 'default'. How that happened during shipping, i don't have a clue (maybe i should play the lottery with odds like that). After putting them onto the right pins, the machine at-least showed some signs of life, by starting the bootup sequence, but then shut itself down. Each time it shuts down and you start it back up again it seems to turn itself off sooner than the first time, but after letting it sit for a while it will stay on for 10-20 seconds, and then shut down again. It does not stay on long enough for you to be able to enter the bios. At the moment it looks like he will have to ship it back to me to figure out whats going on. Does anyone have any idea or anything as to what the cause/solution might be?
