Proview FX786 and MSI Geforce2 MX problem

[Birkir]

Hi,

I own a computer which I resently upgrade the Video Card in from Diamond StelthIII

540 to MSI Geforce2 MX and then it started to work strangly. It hadn´t done this

with the Stelth Card. Now everytime I try to go into a game the monitor shut downs

to standby and I dont know why. The only thing I can do then is to restart. Because

I had been upgrading the video card I thought there was something wrong with my new

MSI Geforce2 MX Card and took it to the place where I bought it. They found nothing

wrong with it. Then I decided to try other monitors with the computer. I tried two

other monitors with this computer (Hitachi CM641ET and Samsung SyncMaster15Gli) and

they both work fine and I can enter the games and play them. Then I thought there

was some wrong with the Proview FX786 monitor and took it to my dealer for a repair

and he found nothing wrong with it.

Now I don´t know what to do. The Monitor is OK, and the Video Card is OK but they

ain´t working together. Has anyone heard of this problem? Does anyone know a

possible solution?

Just so if it helps anyone to find out the problem I write here the specs of it.

MSI Geforce2 MX Video Card
ASUS K7V Motherboard with Onboard Audio
600mhz AMD Athlon Slot A
128mb memory
Cnet P200 Network Adapter
Diamond Supra 56i Modem
Windows 98SE
Detonator 12.41 Drivers
DirectX 8

Hope you can help

i know whats wrong--your video card is sending the signal to your monitor at an unsupported (too high) refresh rate so the monitor shuts itself off. I have a proview monitor, and it used to do the same thing to me--what you have to do is download a program that allows you to select your refresh rate at different resolutions (such as powerstrip).

and that will fix your problem

I downloaded Powerstrip and configured it acording to the monitor manuall but it still turns of when I enter a game. What am I doing wrong in Powerstrip?
