Monitor Screen Freezes! Need Help

Post by teojiahao »

Hi guys.. my monitor screen sometimes will freezes when i get into the game... can i know what's happening?

My PC spec:
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3.66 GHz
G.C: Radeon 9250 128 MB
RAM: 1 GB

I have updated my graphic card driver..
besides, i've also tried to minimize the screen resolution from 1024*768 to 800*600... and the quality to the lowest.. but it's still the same..

is it necessary to download the mainboard patch from the silkroadonline website?

can anyone tell me what's happening to me? need help~

i've tried to download the VIA test driver.. and this thing still happened to me...

i want to ask tat, whether the setting of the brightness in the option caused this problem? because i set the brightness to the brightest!

It's very unlikely to be anything to do with the brightness but, setting it back to normal only takes a short amount of tiem to find out.

Try uninstalling the game and download it again and reinstalling. Make sure you don't have any unnecessary programs running in the background. Clear out your iinternet cache (temporary files), check for spyware and viruses on your system, clean up your windows registry and defrag your hard drive.

Maybe your system is over heating, clean the dust out with a can of compressed air (DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner or you might end up with no PC).

I'm not saying any of these will work but you never know. One thing is for sure, you'll vertainly have a much happier PC.

I am always wondering whether my graphic card supported the game!! is it caused by the graphic card?

and oh yeah, everytime my screen freezes and get restarted, an error log will be coming out.. and the log is related to my graphic card driver... but I've downloaded the latest driver, which is Catalyst 6.5 (Sad to say that radeon 9250 is not supported by Catalyst 6.9)...

Well, i guess my problem solved after i reformatted my com. . . . .
But, it (monitor) started to freezes and corrupt again when i installed adobe reader. . . and the game ran smoothly after i uninstall the adobe reader. . . .
So, i am wondering what's the problem.... cause my c drive left only 10.2GB and after the installation of adobe reader, it reduced to 10 GB . . . i am wondering whether it's my drive capacity problem or adobe reader cause it error!
