Games black screen

I'm about to shake off the balcony of my Alienware 17 x R4. I have a computer game that won't play games and I can't find a way to make do. Whenever I start a game the screen turns black and the game is reduced in the taskbar and won't play no matter what I do. No error message not just an icon in the task bar and I can hear the audio of the game. I tried EVERYTHING I found in ALL the forums, I have visited and nothing works. Is not graphics cards is not the firewall is not the resolution settings, is not the compatibility settings, it is not game management applications, is not the games, is not material, so what causes this problem? I'm more frustrated by that. Please, someone tell me there is a PERMANENT solution to this problem. I'd hate to have to trade my beautiful machine for a Mac, but if it comes to that, I will. I need a computer, I can do everything on including playing games. This seems to be a Windows problem. I use Windows 7 Professional. I'm supposed to be relaxing between semesters at school and take advantage of my free time playing games but I lost 2 weeks trying to solve a seemingly irreparable problem and I have not yet played a single game! Help, please! Thank you!

"- Online games play very well, but I prefer to play in offline mode." It's only installed games that won't play. »

Optional update - KB 2670838 is known to cause some problems with games. Unfortunately,.
If you use IE10 is necessary.
One of these potential problems is loading games while offline because it can cause some games search
for an update and if off line looking blocks the loading successfully game (even games that have no line update options). I don't remember what is happening on the machine of my wife (she has many
'Flash' similar games she gets from the local library), but I could have discovered this problem before
his machine has been updated.
BTW - you can disable auto-install optional updates and allow automatic updates with the update 'important '. However, I prefer manual, so I can choose a time to allow the updates to install with full use of machine resources. It reduces the risk of corruption updates.
It is even more important with graphics driver updated, regardless of the DELL, Nvidia or AMD with
options for automatic updates.

While the machine can start in selective startup that does not mean he does not start something
with Windows, or a Service that can cause a conflict if you want to check this possibility.
It could also be something that you load manually after you start in Windows. Things like
system optimization/tweaking software can often lead to problems.

As games have the same problem with two charts we know that drivers are not at fault.

I don't remember if it happened when I was KB 2670838 installed, but there is also something in relationship
games run with black screen crashes that I don't remember and is not my
Notes (or simply have not found where), but I'll see what I can find.

    Hello

    The Windows XP drivers are not available for the Qosmio F50.
    I found only the drivers for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS.

    Your problem could be related to the Win XP drivers that are not certified by Toshiba
    The point is that this drivers don t support an overheating protection as do Toshiba drivers
    So maybe this is the reason why the GPU temperature increases to 60 C.
    But to be honest, the 60 ° C is not too high and each party will create more heat dissipation when running certain games or applications high performance

  • Games black screen when I run them in Windows 7.

    All the games that I got when I used Windows Vista were playable. Now with Windows 7, whenever one of my games starts in mode full screen, my screen goes black and does nothing else. The monitor still detects my computer because the monitor gave me no error of missing data. I can't alt + tab or Ctrl + Alt + Del or same WindowsLogo + Tab and I have to cut the power, then restart. After researching long tiring send me of these suspects like DirectX 11, disabling Aero, all the popular Miss computer requirements to play the game I could play until I installed Windows 7. My conclusion was that I could play games as long as there is not in full-screen mode or, in other words, the Windowed Mode.

    Why do I play all my games in Windowed Mode play on Windows 7? Is there a way to fix this?

    Find it me happen as well...

    Crysis, crysis 64 bit, world of warcraft, FarCry2... pretty much any game that launches full-screen.
    I put around the question a couple of times... some games allow you to set the options before the launch (games steam for example, fallout3 etc)... but if they launch full screen, you can't even Ctrl + Enter (if the game supports this feature ;))... screen keyboard mouse seem to simply disappear.
    I fixed it by disabling comodo defense + (note, you may have to disable in the main comodo - > defense + -> Advanced-> settings Defense + -> checkmark "disable the defense + permanently ')... guess I'll just have to trust any of the game developers to hide Trojans.
    If you have a Trojan Guard any... turn it off and see if they launch without a problem... (remember to turn it back on when done) if he does contact the manufacturer of the Trojans guard and let them know his past... perhaps win7 is different than vista and they freeze the process thinking that it is a Trojan or malware.

  • Black screen during games out and in minimizing

    Prouct name and number:

    HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC LZ667EA #ABU

    Operating system:

    Windows 7 64 bit

    Changes to the system:

    Router has changed twice but not recently

    The computer is 18 months old and can handle basic tasks to a reasonable level (slow down if two many windows are open at the same time, but maybe it's just my slow internet speed). I have download games through Steam from Valve service and do since almost a year now. So far, games have managed very well, and even though I have your chart down parameters, but they are playable.

    But now, every time I minimize or close a game, the computer runs for a few seconds and then shows me a white screen. The power light flashes and I can hear a high-pitched sound of the box on the charger cable. At the beginning I didn't see this as a problem because it only lasted about ten seconds each time and was taken to the 'locked user' screen where I could log in and continue.

    Now the black screen can display up to five minutes in a period which can be really frustrating. The strange thing is that I can play for hours at a time without what is happening but as soon as I close or minimize the game it happens. This can happen even if the game has only run for a few seconds or so and I close it.

    I don't know if it is overheating, but if I could get advice it certainly helps. Thank you!

    I was going to follow the procedure that you listed, but I found a solution to the problem. As there was light the AC adapter noise when the screen went black, I decided to replace the AC adapter with an old I use from another computer. It works fine now.

    Sorry for any inconvinience caused.

    Hi p0wer.

    I checked the specifications of your laptop on the Web from Toshiba site and it has the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD graphics card.

    Did you check if the card is supported in your games and is it powerful enough?

  • Trying to copy and paste a screenshot of a video game and stick it on the paint. All I get is a black screen Uni I put any graphic setting. How to paste it on Paint? I am able to do it on Vista, but not on Window7.

    Screenshots to work in painting with Windows7, unable to work, all I get is a solid black screen capture.

    I thought that is no longer a problem in the current version of Windows. In previous versions all that depended on what you were trying to catch and how it was made.

    First, make sure the game doesn't have its own ways to make screenshots. There are a lot of games that allow you to do and screenshots that are just after that saved to a folder. You must search settings keyboard... maybe you will find a similar option. What is the name of your game... maybe I can try to find this option.

    Other things... maybe it will be possible to intercept a tool cutting, then try this: when you're in the game, press the Windows key (it will open menu start without closing a game) > all programs > Accessories > capture tools > press an arrow next to new , and select full-screen Snip

  • Black screen when opening a game displays

    Recently bought a game called the "Gundemonium Collection"(CD ROM). "» This came with three games, "Gundemonium Recollection, GundeadGne and Hitogata Happa". Out of these three games only GundeadGne works perfectly. The other two games lead receive me a black screen where I can still hear my cursor movement and confirm/exit command sounds, but no visuals are provided. The final result is based on the windows key, do a right click on the program and its closure.

    Note: I tried to reinstall the game several times, screen resolution of setting, run the program in compatibility modes different, update drivers, install the latest version of DirectX and run the program in a minimized window. Pretty interesting when I reduce the program, the window is black, but I can move blue rectangle hollow (which I assume is a cursor) medium size when I do that I hear no noise at all, or if I can play the game.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Morshu,

    It's really, really weird.
    Everything should work fine.
    All I can say is that you try to delete the parameters (gundemonium.sav and hhconfig.cfg) and rerun games.
    Who should ask if you want to run the game in full screen or in a window.
    Try the windowed mode, there may be a difference.
    In addition, you can try to install the game somewhere other than the default in Program Files, just in case.
    We have done everything that we can to ensure the compatibility, but we weren't able to test all possible cases.

    Also make sure that gdmdat.dat is in the folder Gundemonium Recollection and hhdat.dat is located in the folder Hitogata Happa.

    If you have additional problems, contact me at Sarah (at) wingdreams (dot) net and we can match this topic.

    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

    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.

  • Jerky/black screen during games

    All my games are going to a black screen and hangs during games, sometimes they just becomes extremely agitated, but always very unplayable. I've tried everything. Disabling/uninstalling my antivirus. Reinstall the games only for Windows 7 in compatibility mode. I also started by selecting only the Microsoft Drivers and still nothing.

    Any help will be amazing. I like all the other parts of windows 7... I don't want to go back to Windows Vista...

    Thank you

    amfavs,
    Without a doubt make sure that the vents are clean and the fans are working properly.  This happens on any game or only some of them?  Windows 7, an upgrade or a new installation?  Did update you your video driver from the manufacturer website PC or video chipset manufacturer website?  If you have the video driver from the manufacturer of PC, you can check with the video chipset manufacturer site because they may have a driver more up-to-date.

  • 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.
