Hmmm...ever since I installed stereo drivers for my 3D glasses, I've started getting problems where my monitor arbitrarily switches off briefly, then turns back on. I can still hear the game running in the background. This has happened with a couple diffrent games (i.e., diffrent game engines). I had this problem before installing the stereo drivers, when I had the refresh rate set too high. But my refresh rate is set at the lowest setting, 60hzm, and even without 3D enabled, the monitor will eventually start exhibiting this behavior. Anyone else experience this problem? (I'm using Detonator 44.03 drivers, the 44.xx hacked stereo drivers, and using a GeForce Ti4200) | ||

Check the monitor cable isn't loose. | ||

The mointor cable seems to be fine. Besides, the flickering doesn't happen all the time, only when I'm playing certain 3D-rendered games (Battlefield 1942, NOLF...) | ||

Just some suggestions: 1. Check and make sure your monitor driver is correct! Go to their website and try to find the latest drivers. I know Windows says it doesn't need a driver for plug-n-pray monitors but the monitor-company will have some drivers that basically tell the computer its limits. You need the latest drivers. If there are none then get a more modern monitor. If your using the Microsoft default drivers then its probably telling the computer the wrong limits for your monitor!!! THIS CAN BE VERY IMPORTANT! SHOULD BE THE FIRST THING YOU CHECK! 2. Try it with a different monitor. Try a friends monitor perhaps. It could be your monitor is just going out. It could be your monitor is too old and is freaking out on the refresh rates also. Modern monitors will usually give you an error on-screen about such stuff. If your monitor doesn't have on-screen menus and on-screen error reporting then it is too old and its time to upgrade anyway. 3. Your monitor shouldn't have to be set at 60hz refresh. If your monitor is not capable of 100hz refresh then get a new monitor. You can get a 19" for about $150 new if you shop long enough. 4. It could be a problem with the dongle, but not likely. What happens when you remove the dongle? Can you set your refresh to 100hz? Can you put it in stereo mode without blackouts? The point here would be to get the same problem without the dongle installed. That would assure us that the dongle is not the problem and has nothing to do with it. It sounds like a really weird problem. Perhaps some of the suggestions above will help. It's all can think to check. | ||

This has been happening on my machine while playing 1503 AD. With a asus 7700 video card and asus's latest drivers. Tom Z. | ||

Turns out it was the dongle that plugged in between the computer and the monitor. I removed that and the problem disappeared. So basically the hardware for this brand of 3D glasses is less than spectacular. $50 bucks down the drain. Oh well. |
