I have a Emachines T6212 with ATI raedeon 2600 video card w 512 mb, and 1.5 gigs of ram. I have been getting a no signal input and then a black screen from my monitor while playing WoW and AoC.
I have systematically done everything I can think of to solve the problem but was hoping maybe someone else might have other ideas... this is what I have done.
. Checked and updated all drivers.
. Upgraded the powersupply.
. Upgraded the video card.. this solved the problem with WoW but not AoC.
. Checked and updated Drivers again.
. Got a new VGA cable for the monitor.
. Got a new monitor.
. Cracked the case for airflow.. Nothing is hot in there.
. Cleaned it with compressed air.
. Set to optimal settings in Bios
. Changed MSconfig to only run needed programs.
. Ran a registry cleaner, diskcleaner and defragger... I'm doing whatever at this point.
Please any other clues as to what might be causing this, I really don't want to have to buy an new comp.
