Is your monitor's model # showing up under display properties?

Silverscreen · Dec 5, 2005, 12:30 AM

yes it is.
also got a problem that when i run 3dmark, it crashes after the second test...
some applications freeze and crashes...
i'm thinking drivers problem or overheating?

What is your card temp?

BTW, I should of looked up the model # on your monitor. You have a flat panel so that is as high as it can go. Just remember refresh rates on panels are quite a different than CRTs. To be honest they don't matter, you should lock the rate on your card so you don't have tearing.

i have looked and while i was playing pes5 the temp of the card went up to 60-63 degrees. is that fine for these cards?

Actually that is pretty good for a load temp.

What brand/model power do you have?

yes, LCDs only do 60 Hz...or some at very low res do 75.

As for 3dmark crashing, is it spitting back any errors....rebooting.....hard freezing...???
