cod 4 online goes black screen?

kurosagi01 · Jun 21, 2009, 08:48 PM

Well i was playing cod 4 online and while i was playing it went black screen? i was wondering if it is just a connection error or is it bad overclocked?? well it can't be unstablity overclock because i've tested it on OCCT and it showed no errors so i was thinking its connection error?
Can someone tell me if im right please

i havent ran into a black screen error before. its possible it was something up with your video cards OC, and the driver crashed?

well it wasn't really an error it just goes black screen then i lag for like 2seconds,my ping shoots up to 999 then it goes back to normal to like 60-90ping but then its fine after.it only happens sometimes and my overclock is stable i think i did a stress test

that sounds about right for a driver crash tho. crashes out, few seconds later the GPU recovers.

You gotta remember that a stress test for your CPU doesnt mean much for your video card, and video card synthetic tests always lean towards one aspect of the video card at the neglection of another (EG, focuses on shaders, ignoring ram)

black screens, maybe. blue screens? no, that would be your PC crashing. If the game bluescreened as a matter of course, i'm sure there'd be a lot more people complaining about it.

kurosagi01 · Jun 21, 2009, 10:55 PM

sounds to me driver errors..although i've got latest which is 185? should i try the 186 beta?

bigtye · Jun 23, 2009, 01:28 AM

is yours a gen 1 9600GT. These, mine included, had problems with black screening in COD4, shader intensive issues. If this is the cause it is hardware related.

HammerON · Jun 23, 2009, 01:36 AM

The latest driver is 186.18 ~

denice25 · Jun 23, 2009, 01:49 AM

better check your video card and the driver....

kurosagi01 · Jun 23, 2009, 06:17 AM

i've updated my drivers to 186 and i've lowered my oc'ed abit and its running fine now

RadeonX2 · Jun 23, 2009, 06:25 AM

mine does blackscreen most of my games if it's OC'ed to high. I have the 1st version of 9600GT which had a blackscreen problem but mine is fine if it's at factory clock speed tho when OC'ed too much it will start blackscreening.

kurosagi01 · Jun 23, 2009, 06:50 AM

my o'ced settings now 750/1700/1000 and its all fine now even though i lost like 5fps and onward on cod4 lol its still playable though with like 50fps+ but it would help if i did have a faster cpu i really do feel like replacing my 6230 but my chipset is so crap =/ theirs no point changing it

RadeonX2 · Jun 23, 2009, 07:01 AM

did you turn on V-sync? turning V-sync off jumps my FPS over 60-100 FPS.
lucky bastard you got a nice OC'er 9600GT mine only goes 700MHz on core with stock voltage and thats the stock clock for my card which is 700/1625/950x2.

kurosagi01 · Jun 23, 2009, 07:08 AM

yeah i turned my v-sync off =) and lol its a good cooler i guess my 9600GT haha a sparkle 9600GT this one i got:

The stock clocks are: core clock 650mhz/memory clock 900mhz/shader 1625mhz and i clocked it by 100 and 100 and 65
Mine a 512mb not 1GB
