GRID Crashes and switches off my monitor! :(

DejaVu1977 · 07-11-2008, 06:52 PM

First install worked great. Love this game, but for some reason, since I had to re-install my entire system, I've installed GRID, which loads and logs online fine.

It lasts for about 3 minutes, whether playing online or not, and then stops/hangs then turns my monitor off. After which I cannot Alt-Tab out or anything. I can still hear the Sound effects through my speakers, but computer wont respond. The only way out is pressing my reset button on my PC - of which I dont plan on doing to many times because I dont want to screw my HD!

Anyone else have this? Or is there a solution?

My system is

AMD X2 64 5000+
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon 3850

As said, worked fine until I reinstalled my machine. I definately have all the uptodate drivers for my hardware.

Any suggestions?

No reply on this then? I'm going to re-install my PC once again then to see if that helps.

Did you install:

AMD Dual-Core Optimizer.

Since you have an AMD dual core CPU. It might help.
