Truble With Monitor

[Papichulo891025]

I have a problem with my monitor, it turns of every now and then and i must reboot my system to get it to work. i have browsed many forums and not a singel one have helped me. i have used a different monitor and i still have the same problem.
I have checked the temperature in my computer and it is all right.

My graphic card is : PowerColor PCS+ HD7950, i have read about some problems with this graphic card but nothing that have helped me.


( sorry for the english )

If you have used a different monitor and the problem still exists then it's unlikely your motherboard.

Have you tried installing the latest drivers for your graphics card ?

 

[Papichulo891025]

Yes i have the newest version of my graphic card, this is a really frustating problem cuz all other forums covers gaming and sutch but my computer does it even if im not doing anything. i have changed energi savings ( or what it's called ) so my monitor shouldent go in hibernate.

What make and model of power supply do you have?

 

[AntimatterAsh]

Its probably your monitor...if not, try removing the graphics card if it is a dedicated card and see what happens...if not it could be a problem with the mobo's onboard graphics or it would be your PSU... how old is this machine?

My power supply is : Corsair CX 600W PSU

I have tried 3 different monitors and they all shut down eventually.
my computer are a "home build" and it's not even 1 week old.

Did you check the power settings in Windows for when to put the monitor and computer to sleep?

 

[Papichulo891025]

Yes, they are off and should never turn of or hibernate. the monitor turns of when im at the computer playing, surfing etc. and if im not.

You most likely have a bad video card. However, boot to safe mode and see if it does the same thing. Just might be driver related though.

 

[Papichulo891025]

Yes it might be so, but i bought it for less then a week ago it shouldent be any problems with it.

 

[Papichulo891025]

but nobody that can guess what the problem is ?

 

[johnb35]

My guess is the card......... Try a different one.

You could try and downgrade your drivers if you have the latest installed. It worth a try.

What kind of motherboard do you have? Does it have onboard and you have the cable hooked to the wrong port? lol

 

[Papichulo891025]

i don't have another graphic card except the one i have in my other computer.
i don't know if i have a onboard graphic :S my motherboard is : ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0, Socket-AM3+

Doesn't look to me like it has onboard graphics, so that's not the problem you're having.

 

[Papichulo891025]

what can i do ? is the only option to buy a new graphic card ?

 

[spirit]

Have you plugged in any additional power cables to the card?
