Get black borders while playing games...

I have the Dell Studio 15 with 512 MB graphics card Ati mobility radeon hd 4570 and windows 7 Professional.

but then that play games like the sims 3, sabotuer im getting the black borders. Even the resolution of my screen is 1366 * 768.

so please help me on this problem.

Thank you.

rashri,
Are you getting these borders on all sides of the image or just the top and bottom of the screen?  If your laptop is capable of 1080 p, what happens when you set a resolution of 1920 X 1080.  If your screen can only do 720 p then try the 1280 x 720 resolution and see if that makes a difference.

  • 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:

  • Qosmio X 300-13 L - display shuts down while playing games

    Hey guys,.

    I really hope you can help me with my problem. I had a problem with my video card so I sent to an ASP called RTS in Germany. They corrected this problem, but after I got my laptop, a new problem appeard.

    While playing games, the screen turns black, but everything else works still for about a minute then the system stops. I tried to reset the settings of the BIOS, read in many forums, but nothing helps so far. The problem appreas often during the game World of Warcraft, but since yesterday, it seems less often while playing Leauge of Legends. It is unpossible to use the Qosmio to play with this problem, because I can't recognize any model in this :( I went 2 months of Vista to Windows 7 and the problem appeard only on Windows 7.

    If you need more information or something, tell me and I'll give them to you as soon as possible...

    Thank you!

    Hi byakuya.

    If the problem appears only on Windows7 there must be a problem with your installation of Windows 7. Maybe you use the old drivers or wrong or a software causes this problem.

    The more interesting point right now is your display driver. 3rd display driver part of Nvidia directly don't have protection against overheating and can cause problems. In my opinion, you must install the driver Toshiba last and official version. It should work I hope

  • shutdown of PC while playing games

    shutdown of PC while playing games, my os: windows xp sp2

    The most common cause of shutdown of the PC under load is overheating, and which is usually caused by lack of air circulation.
    Assuming it's a desktop PC and not a laptop, remove the side of the case and look for the sheep of dust, pet hair, lint, etc. on the inside. Special attention for the vents, fans and heat sinks on the motherboard, processor and graphics card. An old toothbrush soft to loosen and a can of air spray (or a small vacuum cleaner, if you're very careful), likes to get rid of it.
    If it is a laptop, remove all the panels that are loose (as for the areas of RAM and HARD drive) and blow through it to air canned to remove any deposit.

  • Screen stops working while playing games

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook, windows 7 64 bit operating system.

    I got 2 years in July.  In recent weeks while playing games the screen stops working.  You can hear the game still in progress but nothing on the screen.  I then have to turn off then to let some time before reboting.

    I played the game for over a year, so it's not the game that is the problem.  It becomes warm, but I have always used a pc fan sub to help keep cool.

    I just tried the HP tool to automatically search for updates, but it had not recommended.

    Is it a hardware problem or software?  What can I do to stop what is happening?

    I bought an extended warranty, but I need if I can fix it or whether it should go to a technician (if nothing is physically wrong, they'll charge me).

  • Screen goes black for a few seconds while playing games

    I come here who need help, I was this problem for some time and were not able to find the solution on my own.

    The question:

    Sometimes when I play games my screen will go black at a random time for a period of time (sometimes only a term of 5 to 10 seconds, other times up to a minute) and then gets himself and I am able to continue to play. The sound continues to play during the blackout, but I have no control of my computer. Nothing does not and cannot use commands such as ctrl + alt + delete. Sometimes, when my computer is recovering from the black screen, I hear the fans on my GPU boost up to about 80%. I put in MSI afterburner to increase my fan speed as the temperature of my card. Sometimes during recovery from a black screen, my fans will increase from 25% to 80%. Then, there is 80% for the rest of the time until I reset my computer. Once my computer is reset, my card will be 25% more.

    Contextual and computer information:

    This question is not started past until I installed and new graphics card and reinstalled windows 7. The GPU has been tested before I reinstalled windows 7 and everything is perfect. no power outages. I reinstalled windows 7 because I had an SSD.

    Here are my features right now:

    PROCESSOR FX-8350
    Card MOTHER Asrock 970 Extreme3
    RAM (2) 4 GB DDR3 1600 and (2) 8 gb DDR3 1866
    SSD 120 gb w / windows 7 installed top
    GPU Radeon r9 290 (upgrade a radeon 6950 which took perfect)
    Corsair power 800w

    a few last things to add that can be useful:

    -I did not black when using my computer and do not play games screens.
    -J' usually have low games such as the League of legends. who are not too intensive on the gpu
    -When I insert in the UEFI, my RAM displays all the sticks clocked at 1600 MHz. Even if 2 of my poles are 1866.
    -My gpu never went more than 74 degrees since ive installed, so I don't think its an overheating problem.

    If you need more information, let me know and ill be happy to provide it. Any help will be MUCH appreciated. I get crazy at this time because I can't figure this thing out lol

    Thank you - Nick

    Thanks for the help! I actually just figured it on mine.

    Here's what the matter was.

    Afterburner in fact has not been increasing fan speed, I had put in place as the time grew. Tried running my r9 290 to 60% of the speed of the fan. Never had a black screen again. I'm glad that I can play games now. Only thing that sucks is my r9 290 is a powercolor card that uses a unique suction fan and blows air on the side. THE THING IS EXTREMELY NOISY at 60% lol but I managed to get the r9 290 for only $200, so I can't complain.

  • Qosmio X 300 - 14V - accidents while playing games

    Hello! I have some problems with my Toshiba Qosmio X 300 to 14V. While I play games installed on the computer "crushes". The screen goes black and the speakers start droning.
    I noticed that if I reinstall windows, driverers and directX it won't happen for a while. I should also mention that this does not happen with ALL games. He especially happenst to games that require more performance of the computer. games like Just Cause 2, Neef For Speed Hot Pursuit, Fallout New Vegas. In one case, he joined a pretty old game, shadows on the surviving ground.

    If anyone can find all reasonable explanation please help me. Thanks in advance.

    P.S. There are about 4-5 months my HARD drive crashed, so I bought a new one and installed win 7. At that time, I was working with win Vista Edition home premium x 32 with drivers that were included in the recovery package. Before the new HARD drive, I had no problem with the computer. Apart from some overwhelming sometimes because of ovearheating because the ventilation channels were filled with dust.

    Hi donrumata_1,

    Maybe the laptop goes down cause overheating? Have you ever tried to clean up your laptop with a jet of compressed air?

    This can blow the dust from the cooling fans and only takes a few minutes. In addition it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop so it s very easy and not complicated.
    => [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm]

    From my own experience I can say s very useful and I do every 3 months. If the laptop is much cooler and quieter because the fan doesn't run so often more.

  • Graphics late while playing games

    original title: problem of serious games

    I play a few games online, and for several months now, I was barely able to run them. I get extreme lag, so that the graphics will move, while the sound plays fine. I guess just maybe it was a problem with my video card or something, except that sometimes, one minute at a time, sometimes more and sometimes less, the game starts suddenly works perfectly well. This suggests that my computer is ABLE to run the games, but is not just most of the time, and I can't understand why. I did research more that I have to find a solution to this problem, but I can't even find someone else who suffer. Reducing the graphics quality ingame does not help.

    For reference, I'm on a computer HP Pavilion p6320 with 8 GB of ram and a NVIDIA GeForce 9100 integrated graphics. I have more than 600 GB of free space on the computer, so I do not know is not the problem. I have updated all drivers for my graphics card and DirectX, as well. I am also sure that it is not my internet connection, because I downloaded a reference software for a game that is not connected to the internet during the race, and he did exactly the same thing.

    I would also like to point out that I have antivirus and anti-spyware software, and I don't get lag on the computer outside of the game.

    Hello

    Try to play games in a clean boot state, and check if the problem persists. Maybe a third party application is causing the conflict.
