Screen Goes Black in Doom 3
Hi
Just got an XFX 6800 graphics card , and have come across a problemm with Doom3 When playing, after about 3-5 minutes the screen goes black. I can still hear the game and it hasnt crashed, just cant see it. Running 71.20 drivers, does it non overclocked as well as overclocked, never used to do it with my 5900XT although I have updated the drivers. Also I have an Enermax 435W PSU , so I dont think its that. Cheers Helinutz |

Get the nvidia patch from windows update and it will fix it. I had the
same problem |

As a power supply unit warms up it puts out progressively fewer watts of
power. And in my opinion Enermax PSU's tend to be liberally rated (i.e. they do not really put out there rated power.) I would upgrade to a 480 Antec Tru Power supply unit and I'll bet your problem may go away. -- DaveW "Helinut" wrote in message ...
