17" Vibrant TFT problems

James07 · 17 Dec 2006 at 18:34

Every so often my screens menu forces itself upon me, it will not close no matter what i do, the only way it will close is by unplugging the screen and plugging it back in...

Now it can either do it from the odd boot up or from starting up a game.

does anyone know why it does this?

i'd say possibly a fault really.....by the look of it, you may have had it for a while have you?

well it goes if i unplug the screen and plug it back in, but every so often it will jst pop up on a boot or when i start up a game...

maybe something to do with the res running during bootup and when you switch to a game....check you're running at 60Hz, that's about all i could think of

oh hang on, is that a CRT or TFT there? If it's a TFT then the optimum and recommended refresh rate is always 60Hz. Check here about refresh rate if you need more details
