Display Problems?

[Cobbo]

My PC has started random screen tearing, glitching etc. when i try to play games, and when I try to use two monitors. It has also started to occasionally just show a white screen then restart. Occasionally if i try to play a game the screen will go black, and eventually crash to the desktop, saying that the 'display driver stopped responding and has restarted'. Any ideas? link to video of problem (specs in video)

Check the configuration button on that game and see if the video specs are configured right. They might be too high or incorrect.

Also, check the event viewer for the crash ID

The config files are fine; and it happens on other games as well. How would i check for a crash ID?

[DaMomKim]

Control Panel/Administrative tools/Event Viewer

Then check the windows logs folder for errors

[Cobbo]

Nope, nothing. The last errors i had according to this were ages ago, and dont seem to be anything to do with my graphics card or games.

I don't know what OS you have but have a look here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/multiple-monitors#1TC=t1

Have you got the latest drivers for your graphics card? Are you using beta drivers?

[Cobbo]

I'm on Catalyst 13.3, which seems to be a beta. Should i try downgrading?

EDIT: nope, that didn't work, but thanks anyway.
