• Computer freezes (and screen changes colors) when playing games with Windows 7

  I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 view a month ago and since then I had problems. I'm going to play a game like Left 4 Dead 2, World of Warcraft, counter-strike: Source, etc and I suddenly freezes. My screen freezes and the colors a bit (some of the colors will turn red and some of the colors will turn to a brighter color, etc.). The sound will also freeze and repeat a few milliseconds what it was. My computer is plugged into a power bar and is kept nice and cold, with a fan who helps him at all times and my window still open - there is some dust out there but I don't think she'd cela.

  This happens maybe once or twice every two days, and it has never happened when I'm not in a game. It is not a memory problem, I'm only using about 2 GB, 3 GB when it arrives. I always end up having to press the power button on my computer to restart it.

  Help, please.

  Tyvak,
  The first suggestion that Aziz has is not the map upgrade but for the driver update.  After the upgrade to Windows 7, you must update all the drivers for your hardware (graphics, sound, NETWORK, card etc...).  The best way to do it is to go on the hardware manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers.  If you have a name brand PC (Dell, HP, etc.) then they usually all drivers for the hardware, but some (usually the drivers graphics) is perhaps not the most recent.  First, make sure that your drivers are up to date and then test the games.

• iMac screen flashes black in Photoshop CC

  Hello

  I am posting this as well in CC Adobe and Apple forums as I do not know where the problem lies, but I would really appreciate this problem:

  I use Adobe apps on an iMac CC brand new (still in time to get the full refund). If you use Photoshop CC (2015.5) the entire screen (not only the Photoshop window) goes black for about half a second when any icon tool exceeding a certain size of pixel passes of the tool to the pointer icon icon or vice versa.

  This happens for example when the icon of the fate of the area of the image on the menus or the dashboard or window, or when it comes in and out of the right click menu change brush size. Any situation when running the tool pointer or pointer tool. It does not always happen, but it happens most of the time, maybe the type of pointer movement has something to do with it, well it happens with fast or slow transitions.

  The problem only occurs when the brush is superior to certain dimensions - never when it is less than the critical size. The critical size may vary depending on whether the Photoshop was opened for a while or just launched (I don't know too much about). There is also an interaction with the hardness of the tool.

  Thus, for example:

  On the blur to 0% hardness tool, the screen flashes black when will top 80 pixels-never less than size. 100% hardness, it flashes from 64 pixels. Same for the Brush tool, Eraser, etc. I think it happens with any appreciable tool (don't have not tried them all).

  I use a Wacom Intuos PS and the Magic Mouse from Apple. The problem occurs at the same time if they are both connected together or separately.

  The problem occurs even when Photoshop is the only application running.

  Please help, because it is almost unusable now.

  Specifications of the computer:

  iMac, retina 4 k, 21, 5-inch

  Processor: Intel Core i5 to 3.1 GHz

  Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

  Graphics card: Intel Pro Iris Graphics 6200 1536 MB

  The Photoshop memory usage is set to default values:

  4500MB (70% of available memory)

  4 levels of cache

  Tile size 1024K cache

  I just downloaded and tried the oldest version of Photoshop - CS6 - available through my driver's license and the problem is exactly the same, this is not limited to a particular version of the CC in Photoshop.

• Screen flickers black when you use Photoshop CC 2015

  I am under Photoshop CC 2015 with a 13 inch, Macbook Pro late 2013 OSX 10.10.3

  My screen flashes black when I use the program (really bad with the text tool)

  How can I avoid this / solve the problem?

  • This occurs generally when there is a problem with the graphics card.
  • Open Photoshop > preferences > Performance > avancΘs
  • Set the mode for drawing base.

  

  • Restart Photoshop and see if that helps.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro M70 overheating when playing games or watching DVDs

  Hello world

  my laptop (Satellite Pro M70) overheating regularly, especially when playing games or watching DVDs.
  Initially the cooling gets really hard, then the laptop would become hot, and shortly after that it stops completely. I ran it about 50% cpu power (DVD mode) for some time, which helps a little, but makes it much slower games.

  I do not know whence this problem, you have any ideas what I could do?

  Don't know if it's important, my graphics chip is the ATI Mobility Radeon X 700.

  Thanks in advance

  > My laptop (Satellite Pro M70) is overheating regularly himself, especially when playing games or watching DVDs.
  Still is it playing games and watching DVD movies to emphasize material for portable computers.
  Devices such as the CPU and GPU run with maximum efficiency and produce a lot of heat.
  This could lead to problems of overheating, especially if the cooling modules n t work properly.

  > I do not know whence this problem; you have any ideas what I could do?
  I think that the cooling modules don't cool the laptop properly because fans could not run with maximum efficiency because of the dust and debris.

  The same thing happened to me. I just cleaned the vents using a jet of compressed air. This jet of compressed air can be ordered from different computer resellers and it s a professional tool to perform this cleanup.

  I think you should test this.

  Good luck

• Re: Satellite L350 - screen goes black when I try to play

  I have a laptop Toshiba L350 Sat. Its currently running on Windows Vista. Caused by a virus, I recently had to reinstall Windows. The laptop is now free from virus.

  My problem is that when I try to play some games that I have the screen goes black and I have to do a forced restart using the power button. There are no other noise running in the background, and Ctrl alt del does not work either.

  Is or has anyone else suffered from this problem and if so how they remedy? I'll try to re-installthe drivers when I get home this morning, but I can't think of anything that could be the cause of the problem...

  Any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  Which disc you used to reinstall Windows?

  Normally, if you use the all Toshiba Recovery disk should work fine after that. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba.

  In addition, you can try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

• Satellite A200 screen remains black when you try to start

  Hi all

  My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer no longer works, then everything started when I was playing a game, all of a sudden the screen turned blue with a tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to close, because nothing not happening on the computer. Then, I pressed the power button to open it. Everything was fine, until the Welcome screen. In this part, he wrote 'Welcome' but Vista left loading circle of it was not turning.

  After a few seconds, I decided to shut down the computer once again, so I hold the power button for the computer firm. Here's the problem: I tried to re-open it, but the screen remained black. Nothing was happening. The power light is blue, but not all computer activity. So I left it like that a few minutes then it closed and tried again, but it's the same thing. I tried to take it apart and noticed the card two memory was not entirely in its niche. I fixed it, but it does not solve the problem.

  I also tried to plug another screen on it, but this one was also black. So I handed the screen on his computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. He was the starter, but the first problem came, the Welcome screen was frooze it. So yes I close it up and then it's the same thing, the screen remained black.

  I don't think the problem is the screen, because as I said some time it goes to the Welcome screen. Also, I hear no welcome sound when the screen remains black as if the computer would simply not starts. And as I said earlier, I see no activity of the computer on the little light in front of the computer. And to the left of it, I see clearly that the computer is ON, because the power light is blue.

  That is my problem, the next time that the computer is able to start I'll try to boot mode SAFE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

  Thanks in advance,
  MrRoy

  EDIT:
  After the computer is turned off for about 30 minutes, I started and booted in safe mode. At this stage, I have locked my computer with the close button instead on the power button. Then I opened my computer and he started and the problem was solved. Now my laptop is open and working.

  So, if this happens to you:
  1. turn off your computer.
  2. wait about 30 minutes.
  3. start in safe mode
  4. close using istead of now off button power button closure.

  It should work.

  Finally, it does not work. I don't know why, but my computer did start after 30 minutes, but now it no longer works. Only, it will not start as I said later, with a black screen.

  The computer worked for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start but after running a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart. I made about 3 or 4 times, and then he was simply the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe that it is damaged or something, would it possible?

  Because I see that the processor does not work when I try start it.

  So let's say that this is the case, would it be the symptoms of my computer?
  And if it's the processor, the only way to resolve this is to send it to a repairman or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.

  But now, my computer is simply not starting, as I said in my previous post.

  Thanks in advance,
  MrRoy
