Problem description: I upgraded my PC a few weeks ago and it's running really well, aside for in Guild Wars 2. For the first week it ran fine, and now it runs fine up until 5-10 minutes in when the monitor goes into "power saving" mode. I can still hear the game playing in the background, just the monitor turns off. I can run everything else no problems, most recently i've been on Fallout 4 on max everything and such. I've googled and found people having similar issues - with other games - with monitors powering down due to either overheating or a PSU issue but it doesn't seem to be either of these - the PSU can handle the system no problems and is new itself, and the computer never gets up to ridiculous heats at all. I've also looked on the GW2 forums and there's no info that pertains to my situation. Attempted fixes: I've tried lowering graphics settings to bare minimum and it doesn't make a difference - I can play for a bit then it shuts off the monitor. I've also tried with another monitor and tried both using the HDMI connector and the standard VGA one. I have ran the dell service tool just to see if there's any basic thing wrong that I could be missing, but it's all fine. Recent changes: I have updated my GPU, PSU and hard drive to an SSD, but after doing this I still had no issues with it up until this weekend. -- Operating system: Windows 10, 64 bit System specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 Corsair 600w PSU 8GB ram though i'm not sure the type If additional spec information is needed it can be found here - http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/servicetag/57vht4j/configuration?s=BSD - under the current configuration tab. Location: UK I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

What model of monitor do you have? Do you just have the single monitor? Edit, just saw your post about using a different one, Could you link the model of the one you are using anyway. Have you also tried connecting the monitor to the motherboard as opposed to the GPU to test if it does the same thing? CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Nov 19, 2015 |
