Explosion lags

Assi · 2012-12-04 23:33:30

Sometimes when I see nearby explosions my game starts lagging.
Anyone has a clue what's causing this?

This might be caused by the same problem: sometimes when I start my pc up I don't get to see my desktop, only a black screen, followed by a no video signal even though I still hear my pc running.
Sometimes this even happens after I started up fine by example: I clicked on renew windows experience index and screen turns balck and I have to reset.

Is there someting wrong with mobo?

i'd try to update driver for gfx card (and maybe check whether its fan is working if it's not onboard one)

Hmm... probably a faulty video card. If you can replace it for some other video card just to check it, you could probably nail down the problem.

If it's a faulty card shouldn't it be all the time like that or not?
Anyhow, still got a 8800GT so I can try that when I have some time.
Thx

There seem to be something weird with bf1942 and newer graphic cards, i can get the game to utilitize my card more than some few percent, often it clocks down to the lowest setting in midgame lol. Now it is enough to not lag but it still weird as i had more fps throughput with my old card.

Read a lot of forum posts last night and it's probably either caused by Intel Speed Technology - bad or too few Power - not enough voltage for GPU.
Switched off the IST now and gonna wait and see whether or not the problem is solved...

Small update: after reading hundreds of post with hundred different solutions I think I may have found it:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/MSI-GT … 18013.html & http://www.tomshardware.de/MSI-GTX660Ti … 41108.html -> "MSI’s circuit trick can trigger a black screen or cause a driver crash when a change of load occurs"

I replaced my new card with my old 8800 GT and no problems since then.

The pc store told me to return the card but after reading their return conditions I guess I'm fooked.
The conditions say that the product needs to be returned in the original packaging and now it turns out that my wife threw out all the packages of my new pc.

Bye bye money...

Can't the MSI card be undervolted through software? Maybe that could fix those side effects.

Good thinking. I can check that out.

@Denny: :-) She promised to buy me a new one if the shop doesn't take it back so she can stay for now.
