Z3R0-CooL Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 i am getting a weird message when i play games.. Almost all the time i get a black or a weird screen with a box saying "not optimum mode. 1280x1024 60hz recommended".. and the computer freezes completely and i have to press the reset button... i have the latest driver from the website and the original driver from the CD does the same.. any clues? never had that problem before with my previous motherboard.. any clues? could ocing cause that?

Kyo Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Is your card actually overclocked? It sounds to me that the monitor refresh rate could be exceeded. You can normally check this in coolbits where there a option to hide resolutions and rates that the monitor cannot handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVI. not blue.. it looks like "snow".. scrambled singal.. cant explain it. really.. with a box in the middle saying "not optimum mode. 1280x1024 60hz recommended"... no.. using official 81.98. the refresh rate is at 60Hz.... nothing else is supported at 1280x1024... yes. fresh install of windows and using driver cleaner..

cdidhe Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Well I think it has something to do with timingresolutionrefresh rate. I had a similar problem with my lcd, that’s why I tried to get as much info from u as i can. My problem was I was running a 75mhz refresh rate on 2d. It would work fine for awhile then when apps would try to run a different refresh like the opening bull in battlefield 2 my monitor would go blue with a box saying "video mod not supported" but it would be fine on my other monitor.(running dual monitors) Well i tried to put 2d back to 60 hertz and still nothing ... well anyway this is to much typing. So did you try to do a refresh rate override? Make sure your 1280x1024 forces a 60hz refresh rate.(this somewhat helped me) If that doesn’t work I would try 1024x768 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
