Hey, i overided my Monitor to a refresh rate of 120 on the ATI control panel. And that is the maximum on my CRT monitor. I can run games like counter strike source, F.E.A.R, and other source games. But when i launch games like counter strike 1.6, and quake live. It's just a black screen and i have to do a rough reboot.

Help pl0x
 
Well, you could not override your monitor settings...

or you could try changing the launch options of the games youre having issues with. Are you thinking the screen is black because the refresh rate is too high? If thats the case (im not sure if it is)...

In CS1.6, go to the games tab in steam. Right click CS1.6. Properties -> Launch Options. Not 100% sure on the command but try "-freq 100" (no quotes). 100 is the Hz it sets the refresh rate at so play around to find a good one.

As for quake, im not really sure. Theres probably a config file somewhere you could alter. Google or just poke around in the game's folder and look for something.
