Omega Drivers help

tekno82 · May 31, 2006, 06:24 AM

Running Powercolor x1800GTO PCIE16 with Athlon 64 x2 3800. Never had a problem before, but this time around setting up drivers and rebooting, I am greeted with a black screen, monitor blinks power light 3-times in clusters of 3. Using an Apple Cinemoa Display 20. Never had a problem like this before. Any advice?

EDIT: fixed by setting refresh freq in ATT's DDC to 60hz. still have this problem when loading games. refresh rate wont lock. suggestions?

Does the refresh rate stay at 60 Hz regardless?

cant really tell, when i switch from 2d to 3d (like loading up FEAR for example), monitor goes black (completely, like standby mode, not just a black screen). i thought that it might be the refresh rate changes to an out of range value for the monitor, but im not positive.

Use the included Multires to lock the refresh rates (make sure you setup all the desired refresh rates and resolutions first in the dektop).
