Monitor crashes/ no signal 5min in

Post by patrickhartle79 »

I've been playing sim on my gaming PC for about 2 years now and it's work perfectly fine until a couple of days ago. The monitor crashes with no signal black screen so I eventually replaced the monitor along with cabels & it still does it. On any track and gear .. the PC still runs but then I have to reboot it.. I'm all up to date.. works good with Adobe Photoshop and premier.. help?

I could be wrong, but it sounds like a graphics card issue

Try blowing the dust out of the fans/heatsinks.

Is the system locked up? Are you still getting sound after the monitor loses signal?

If you're losing video but the rest of the system is still running it could be your graphics card. Do you have an extra graphics card you could try?
