In some of the games (HOGs) I play, during a game and all of a sudden my screen goes black and I get the message "No Signal Detected!" then after a while my computer re-boots. Does anyone know why and/or how to fix this problem. When a game does that to me once it does it eveytime I try to play it so I have made up a list of which games not to play. Some I love but can't play because of this.

Hi Victor,

Just had a look at the page you suggested, unfortunately it does not help me. That page says "Black or blank screen when launching games". My games launch fine it's just that during a game it does what I originally stated above. My operating system is XP Pro with service pack 3 and I have all up to date programs. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the games that played up in that way and that didn't work. So I'm back to square one. Any other suggestions?

Regards,

Marky.

Hi Marky_Mark,

The problem you are facing seems to be weird. The "No Signal Detected" error is most likely related to display or any driver updates required for the video graphics card. We need to check the configuration details of your graphics card [if any] to fathom more about this. Send an email to help@gamehouse.com with the directx details by following this:

The only way to fix this issue is click Start, run, then type in DXDIAG.

Click on the More Help tab, and select the Override button.

Type in a custom value of 60 and accept it.

Then your game should work.

Hi x2wolverine,

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that. My other attempts hadn't worked. Can you tell me why it is doing this? Is it something I could have avoided? If so how?

Regards,

Marky Mark.

Your monitor driver or graphics driver is incorrectly reporting the available refresh rates its capable of , and as a result many games are trying to take advantage of this , locking the refresh at 60 helps.
