Hello

Check your drivers manaully and also seek programs of control of the video camera that could
be separated on the manufacturer's website if there is one any of them.

This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
manually if you wish.

  • Black screen when playing the games

    I play several different types of games on my computer and just recently, I noticed that when I attempet to Alt + Tab to go to my office or a different window, I get stuck in a black screen with only the mouse showing sometimes. This came only in the last week and went with all the games that I played. I managed to make Ctrl + Alt + Delete but can only solve by making the system to reboot. All playing the games themselves, I don't encounter any problem, but only when I try to go to a different window that already passed.

    Help?

    Well, nothing has really changed, you can try the system restore and restore a week ago and see if it solves your problem.

        Any advice on what to do? or can you confirm is the graphics card?

    Eddie, it may be cheaper to build your own computer, but you should have some knowledge of the components.

    First, you must decide what motherboard you want to buy; AMD or Intel.  This will determine which processor you can buy.  The processor must match the location on the motherboard.  The motherboards in the links have many customer reviews.  Read them to see what they have to say.  I would not necessarily recommend this manufacturer, I'm simply pointing out the differences in the manufacturers of processors.

    The type of memory will be determined by the motherboard also.

    The case must match the motherboard also.  The form factor is what determines which cases will work.  I suggest a case full size with so many fans that you can afford.  I do not recommend to buy one with the power supply included.  They are not normally of high quality.

    I recommend a power supply (PSU) which is no less than 600W.  I love OCZ and Corsair.  They will give you clean and stable power to the system.

    The video card is very important.  You are going to buy a PCI Express x 16 card.  I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  The map in the link is 9.5 "in length.  It fits in a case of normal size with no problems.

  • Black screen while playing games on Satellite A300/500 psag4a

    Hi all!

    Before that I send my laptop for repairs (it s only 6 months old) I need to see if I am not mistaken.

    It s a model of Satellite A300/500 PSAG4A

    The problem is that when I play any graphics intensive games the laptop screen goes black and locks. Only a boot cold will get it back.
    Any other time he s not ok no problem, the problem only started 5 days ago, it has the latest drivers and BIOS.

    Once, he went to a blue screen with hardware failure but was quick to get a good overview of what didn't.

    This sounds like a defective video card?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello!

    The laptop gets hot?

    What blue screen you get exactly? This could also be a software problem.

    Here you can check if you have really the latest driver and BIOS:

  • Windows 7 memory 64-bit dump blue screen while playing the Star craft 2 and Battlefield 3 in and out of sleep.

    Original title: 64-bit Windows 7 memory dump blue screen

    Specifications of the computer

    OS: 64 - bit Windows 7 Home Premium
    It's a new generation and I have all updated drivers, bios, and Windows updates. I set my virtual memory for two hard drives (min: 8000/Max: 24000). I run PrecisionX in the background with stock settings, and Asus II HAVE suite and my CPU is overclocked to 3.8 (recommended turbo). I run CNettoyez on a regular basis to solve registry problems.
    I had my new blue screen of generation of dumps from memory, about four times since I built it. It comes into play, i.e. of Starcraft 2 and Battlefield 3, and once when he came out of sleep. I ran a memory test, and he says that he has no problem. Suggestions or anything like that, I need to test again?
    On a side note: don't suck my HDD or is it decent? 1 TB, 3 Gb/s, 32 MB cache. My OS is on my SSD as well as Torchlight 2, and the rest of my stuff on my disk HARD of Starcraft 2 and Battlefield 3, media and stuff.

    Thanks for your help. I think that I thought about it. The "timing" on my ram is disabled, so I manually set in the BIOS and see what happens.

    Also, it would cause W7 to freeze coming out of sleep? I had this recent problem where when my computer out of sleep and it wouldn't wake up and my CPU LED should blink slowly. After turned it off, I will re-start and it would be nice, but now it is that whenever I put it in sleep mode.

    Hi Admin,
    When I was playing the game and my 3D PC show the black screen and the sound of noise. And then I can't move anything and I can restart only. What is this problem? I don't know why? Please help me what should I do.
    My PC specs are as follows

    Aspire M5800 (Q84MR375) Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium, 64-bit, Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q8400 (2.66 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, bus front at 1333 MHz), 3 GB Ram, 750 GB S - ATA HDD, DVD SuperMulti Double Layer drive, Nvidia GeForce GT220 graphics (1 GB dedicated RAM) card, Wireless LAN, keyboard and wireless mouse with LCD 23 '' monitor.

    phoechan,
    More than likely if this started after you upgrade to Windows7 then you might have to update your hardware drivers.  Go to the websites of the manufacturers of hardware for your PC and get all the latest drivers for Windows 7 (video, sound, chipset, etc...).  If they don't have Windows 7 drivers you may have questions until they create them.  You can also try to boot your PC and also right click on the game .exe file and change the compatibility mode to Vista or XP.

  • After playing the game the Sims 2, impossible to shut down the computer, get black screen

    Hi all

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I recently installed the Sims 2 DVD Edition. The game itself works very well. He's not planting or lag or cause my computer is turned off. I can walk much and create characters; what I noticed is that some of the sound effects play, which is minimal.
    However, after playing the game and I'm going to shut my computer down, the screen just goes black and the computer stays on. The processor will run nothing will work. The computer just stays, but the screen remains black. He doesn't even go to the "shutting down" screen or anything. Straight black. I let it stay like that for 15 minutes just to see if maybe, it was just to take some time, but the computer still shuts.
    It normally stops if I do not play Sims 2.
    Original title: Sims 2 causing my computer does not shut down properly?
    I think I have Directx 11, because when I installed my graphics (ATI Raedon 7770) it updated automatically to that. I play other games like Skyrim here, which does not cause this weird close the thing. I installed the patch from EA Games for the game itself, as well.
    Help would be appreciated, because I'd really like to be able to play Sims 2! If one of the expansion packs resolves that it be so. Anything to solve this problem!
    Thank you.

    Hello Teo1569.

    I suggest you play the games in your native screen resolution 1366 x 768.  If you must use lower resolutions for performance and that you want to fill the screen, you will need to check with the documentation for your computer on how to fill the screen, this isn't something run by Windows, but rather the view and as such all computers are different.  Most of the screens usually have parameters like the Stretch, appearance or Fill.

  • Not able to play the game Metro 2033 on Windows Vista-based computer.

    I just installed the game Metro 2033 on my Vista system that uses a 1080 screen.  In fact, I have two identical screens.

    The game requires activation Steam and Steam normally will attempt to update the program rather than simply enable it during installation.  This leaves a person in the dark as to what happens during the installation.

    It turns out, I use a 3G modem that Steam refuses to support their network of Bit Torrent, so download speed for an update of a concert is around 12 kb/s or 8 hours to make the point on a program that has not yet installed.

    After work, I was quite surprised to find that the program would not go on Steam.  He then took a few hours to find out that there is a solution, that I could load the game by running the executable file that had been installed in the directory Steam for Metro 2033.

    Unfortunately Metro2033, when started this default way a unknown screen resolution.  Thus when the game is started from the Steam directory nested, one gets a message "out of range" on the display of 1080 and nothing can be seen.

    Short of launching the game out, I tried the game again, to my great joy, the second run displays a safe mode issue and I ran it in safe mode.  It is quite an exciting game and I played it all night.  However, I had also contacted support original THQ regarding installation problem/solution.

    Then I fell asleep.  The PC was on.

    The next day, I played the 2003 Metro game again, but I entered in some difficult areas of the game, and I had to reload the saved game.  After awhile, I opted to exit the program.  Later, I started the program, but this time I inadvertently clicked on the Metro2033 icon who had installed Steam.   In my solution, I had pasted a link to the directory of Steam under the original icon and had pressed the wrong button.

    Of course, the first thing I saw, after playing the game for 12 hours, was "out of range".  I opted to return to the office...

    ... However I couldn't come back on the Vista desktop.  I have a 7000, and even Microsoft Entertainment keyboard by pressing the buttons of Windows or Media center wouldn't let me come back to the office.

    The day before, I needed to do this that I've experienced to workaround to start getting and I noticed that the only way I could get on the desktop to run the Task Manager to kill the out of range on my screen message has been to press the Media Center button.

    Once the Media Center menu on breaking the subway 2003 menu I could then enter the office and use the Task Manager.

    However, the next day when I inadvertently started the STEAM version, and again, the screen is become black and says 'Out of Range', I found that my system was stuck in this loop.  No way to get in the Manager of tasks at all, not even with the Media center button on my keyboard.

    Now the background of my question.  When I was forced to start my system again, I noticed the normal BIOS screen and the bar of Vista with Vista is loading, then the familiar sound of Vista boot, but now NO SCREEN at all on startup!  Now, something had inserted a driver in my Vista start which forced my display say "Out of Range" from the start of the desktop of Vista and Vista computer has not yet noticed this.  Normally, I would think that they claim that the screen resolution is wrong and put it on, instead, nothing else than the out of range message rigid or flexible boots.

    Original title: can someone tell me what happened here? Metro2033 and steam game.

    I checked by plugging my second monitor.   The system has Safe Mode startup and I was able to do a restore of the system from the previous day to evening to return to the office.   However, I am quite confused as to what happened.  How the Metro 2033 problem "out of range" migrate to Windows startup by running an update of Steam?

    I use the latest service pack for Vista.


    It seems that the STEAM snuck in an update and then everything worked fine.
