Need Help Trouble Shooting

Postby Bumkin » Sun Nov 21, 2010 8:51 am

During flights with various aircraft (payware, freeware, jet, prop) at 10-15 minutes into flight, my screen goes blank & my monitor (HP w2338h) gives me a "No Video Input Message".
Don't ask an aviator if he flys fighters.

This could be a couple things...  but it sounds like the v-card is over-heating.

First thing.. I'd pull it out, and make sure its heat-sink and fans aren't all plugged up.

It does seem to be the video card.

It most likely is a paper-weight now..

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Cooling fan is working.  Will give driver a try but, I tend to agree that I now have a new paper weight, it's just too small for an anchor.  Thanks for your input.
